Leinster confident on Sexton, Fitzgerald

Rugby:Leinster issued a positive medical report after their training session at UCD this afternoon, with Ireland internationals Jonathan Sexton and Luke Fitzgerald both expected to be available for selection for Saturday's final pool game at home to Montpellier at the RDS.

Outhalf Sexton rolled his ankle in the first half of last Sunday’s victory over Glasgow in Firhill, although he went on to complete the game. He will be monitored during the week but should be fit to play.

Luke Fitzgerald miss last Sunday’s game with a combination of a neck strain and glute muscle injury but is in line to return.

Forwards Kevin McLaughlin (neck), Richardt Strauss (facial) and Steven Sykes (hamstring) should also be available for selection.

Meanwhile, Munster named a 28-strong squad for their final pool match against Northampton Saints in Milton Keynes on Saturday.

Flanker Niall Ronan has been sidelined after a scan yesterday showed up ligament damage in a knee that forced him out of the game against Castres last Saturday.

The province added fullback Felix Jones and prop Christy Condon to their

Heineken Cup squad as replacements for Peter Stringer and John Hayes.

Jones is still recovering from the foot injury he sustained playing for Ireland in the lead-up to the World Cup but he is expected to return next month. He takes the place of scrumhalf Stringer, who signed a six-month loan deal with Saracens.

Dolphin frontrow Condon takes over from Hayes, who announced his retirement from the game recently.
