Leinster face the possibility of not having several of their star players available for the Vodacom United Rugby Championship semi-final against the Vodacom Bulls in Dublin on Friday.

Tighthead prop Tadhg Furlong was replaced in Saturday’s 12-try mauling of Glasgow Warriors as a precaution with a back injury and will be monitored this week.

Hugo Keenan missed the URC quarter-final clash at the RDS Arena, but the utility back is expected to return to full training soon.

Ireland captain Johnny Sexton (ankle) and fellow international teammate James Lowe (shin) also sat out the win over Glasgow and will be further assessed before a decision is made on their availability.

James Tracy stepped up his rehabilitation last week and will continue to do so again as he looks to return from a neck injury, but Ronan Kelleher remains unavailable due to a shoulder issue, while there are no updates on Tommy O’Brien (knee), Dave Kearney (hamstring) and Will Connors (knee).
