David Wallace and Marcus Horan have been included in a 27-man Munster squad to face Leinster in the Magners League this weekend, despite sitting out training this afternoon.
Wallace suffered a serious blow to the head in the Heineken Cup quarter-final win over Gloucester, while Horan pulled out of the game shortly before kick-off because of a back spasm.
However, scans and x-rays have returned positive results and the pair are deemed fit enough to be included in a large squad, as Declan Kidney looks to close the 11 point gap between hi side and their fierce rivals at the top of the league.
With a game in hand, and after a massive performance in Kingsholm, Kidney's side are far from out of the running.
A win in Dublin, however, has eluded the European Cup semi-finalists for four-and-half-years and a heavy defeat, though unlikely, could leave them trailing by 16 points.
Munster Squad: John Hayes, Marcus Horan, Tony Buckley, Federico Pucciariello, Jerry Flannery, Frank Sheahan, Paul O'Connell, Donncha O'Callaghan, Donnacha Ryan, M O'Driscoll, Alan Quinlan, David Wallace, Denis Leamy, Anthony Foley, Niall Ronan, Shaun Payne, Denis Hurley, Doug Howlett, Kieran Lewis, Rua Tipoki, Lifeimi Mafi, Brian Carney, Ian Dowling, Paul Warwick, Ronan O'Gara, Tomas O'Leary, Peter Stringer.
