Johnny Sexton rehabilitation ‘going well’ but no date set for return

Johnny Sexton's potential return to Leinster colours is still unknown despite the fact "his rehabilitation from a knee injury is going well," according to a medical update from Leinster.

He will be “reviewed again later in the week regarding the next steps.” Sexton sustained the knee injury in the first Champions Cup game against the Northampton Saints and was withdrawn shortly after half-time.

The medical prognosis at the time was that he could be fit for the start of Ireland’s Six Nations Championship campaign.

Centre Rory O'Loughlin had a procedure on a shoulder injury and will be sidelined for 12 weeks while prop Michael Bent picked up a calf injury in training.
