Munster will be without five key players for next Saturday's crunch Celtic League clash against fourth placed Edinburgh Gunners at Thomond Park.
Ronan O'Gara, Marcus Horan, Christian Cullen, Denis Leamy and Jeremy Manning were not considered.
But hopes are high that all will be available for selection for the Heineken Cup semi-final against Leinster on Sunday, April 23rd.
Jeremy Manning, stretchered off last Friday, and Christian Cullen trained yesterday and coach Declan Kidney said he believed that all five have every chance of being fit for the Leinster game.
Saturday's squad includes Rob Henderson and Mike Mullins who are both returning after lengthy injuries.
Munster squad: J Hayes, F Pucciarello, E McGovern, J Flannery, D Fogarty, F Roche, D O'Callaghan, P O'Connell, M O'Driscoll, S Keogh, D Wallace, J O'Sullivan, A Foley, P Stringer, P Burke, T O'Leary, M Prendergast, M Lawler, A Horgan, I Dowling, R. Henderson, T Halstead, M Mullins, J Kelly, S Payne
