Keith Gleason and Gordon D’Arcy are both included in the Leinster squad for Sunday’s game with The Ospreys.

Gleeson returns to the squad after a long absence, along with the possible inclusion of Gordon D'Arcy - subject to a late fitness test. Emmett Byrne also returns following a quad strain sustained against the Newport Gwent Dragons.

The squad also includes Eric Miller and Guy Easterby - both replacements in Ireland's defeat over England last weekend while there are also places for Shane Jennings, David Holwell, Victor Costello and Christian Warner fresh from an impressive two-try performance in the recent defeat to Edinburgh.

Further to fitness testing on certain players, it is unlikely that a team will not be announced until Sunday. Felipe Contepomi misses the game having sustained bruising of the chest in training.
