Rob Kearney a major worry for Leinster ahead of European opener

Limped off

SportsJOE

Leinster could be without Ireland Rob Kearney when they open their Champions Cup campaign against Wasps this weekend.

The full-back suffered a hamstring injury during Friday night’s Pro12 victory over the Scarlets and is a ‘major doubt’ for the Wasps clash, while his replacement that evening, Ben Te’o, also left with a muscle strain.

Te’o’s withdrawal was described as ‘precautionary’, while Luke Fitzgerald should recover from his shoulder injury and Sean Cronin has been given the all-clear following a calf problem.
