Rob Herring is an injury doubt for Ulster’s European Challenge Cup trip to face Cardiff on Saturday [20:00].
The 35-year-old hooker suffered a knee injury in the first half of the 61-7 victory over Racing 92 at Affidea Stadium.
Herring scored Ulster’s go-ahead try late in the first half, but was replaced at the break by Tom Stewart and will have an MRI scan to determine the severity of the injury.
In better news for Richie Murphy’s side, Cormac Izuchukwu is back in full training and in contention to feature after his recovery from a foot injury picked up in the united Rugby Championship win over the Bulls in early October.
The 25-year-old forward’s progress had been monitored in recent weeks, but is now set to make his return for the trip to Cardiff Arms Park.
Ben Carson, Lorcan McLoughlin and Sean Reffell are also back in full training and the trio are all in contention for game-time this weekend.
