Bradley awaiting players' progress

Connacht have four main injury concerns ahead of Sunday's Celtic League clash with Leinster at Donnybrook. 

Michael Bradley is awaiting news on, Christian Short, Matt Lacey, Stephen Knoop and Conor McPhillips before selecting.

Connacht's 33-19 victory over Llanelli two weeks ago was their fourth home win in succession and they head into this weekend's encounter looking for their third win in four Celtic League games.

The westerners have lost on their two previous visits to Donnybrook and last won there in September 2002 when a last minute drop goal from Mark McHugh gave Connacht a famous 26-23 victory.

Connacht Squad:

Forwards: Ray Hogan,  Dan McFarland, John Fogarty, Joe Merrigan, Adrian Clarke, Stephen Knoop, Andrew Farley, Christian Short, David Gannon, John Muldoon, Michael Swift, Matt Lacey, Brendan O'Connor, Colm Rigney.

Backs: Chris Keane, Tom Tierney, Paul Warwick, David Slemen, Keith Matthews, Andrew Mailei, John Hearty, Darren Yapp, Conor McPhillips, Ted Robinson, Matt Mostyn, Mark McHugh.
