Horan doubtful for Ireland internationals
Tuesday, 3 November 2009 22:55Ireland prop Marcus Horan appears to be a real doubt for the upcoming Guinness Series of international games.
The Munster man did not join up with the rest of the Irish squad for training this morning as he is undergoing a series of tests and investigations.
Several other key players did not train with the squad at their first session in the University of Limerick.
Gordon D'Arcy sat out the session as he is struggling with a calf strain.
Rob Kearney was on the field doing rehabilitation training on his hamstring strain that he picked up last week, as was Brian O'Driscoll, who has a tight calf.
Jerry Flannery and Tony Buckley also underwent rehabilitation on the field as they recover from calf injuries.
Tommy Bowe, Leo Cullen and David Wallace also sat out the session as they recover from minor knocks picked up over the weekend. None of the injuries to the players are considered enough to rule them out of selection next week.
The Ireland A team to play Tonga and a 30-man squad for the test match against Australia will be announced at the end of the camp on Friday afternoon.
