Leinster's injury woes have receded somewhat with the return to training this week of Irish internationals Shane Jennings, Jordi Murphy, Dave Kearney and Fergus McFadden.

Kearney (knee) and Murphy (shoulder) have not played at all this season, while Jennings (hamstring) and McFadden (ankle) were injured this season.

Leinster play Edinburgh at the RDS on Friday before a two-week break, although the game is likely to be too early for Jennings to return to the backrow.

A decision on whether or not the other three will play a part will be made on Thursday morning ahead of the team being announced at midday.
