Munster, midfielder Ben Healy, has been ruled out of Saturday’s Heineken Champions Cup clash at Clermont due to the shoulder injury he sustained in last weekend’s win over Harlequins.

Ealy underwent a scan yesterday, which revealed damage significant enough to mean that she will now begin a period of rehabilitation.

Munster head coach Johann van Graan was furious with two late tackles from Quins’ players, causing Healy’s shoulder injury, one of which went unpunished.

Although the 21-year-old managed to finish the game, Healy felt visibly uncomfortable.

JJ Hanrahan will continue in the number 10 jersey for the trip to France, while Rory Scannell could earn a retirement as cover at the bank.

Front row duo Jeremy Loughman (shoulder) and Niall Scannell (neck) have returned to full training and are available for selection.

Meanwhile, winger Matt Gallagher underwent successful shoulder surgery last week and is now joined by Alex McHenry (thumb), Neil Cronin (knee), Dave Kilcoyne (ankle), RG Snyman (knee), Joey Carbery ( ankle) in the long term. list of injuries.

Clermont will be without versatile French forward Sébastien Vahaamahina, who faces a period on the sidelines with a knee ligament injury.
