Following on from their heartbreaking, shock loss to Munster in the URC semi-final, Leinster have listed five injury concerns as 'available' ahead of the Heineken Champions Cup Final against La Rochelle.

Leinster were humbled by their domestic rivals, losing 16-15 after a dramatic late drop goal from Munster 12 Jack Crowley sealed a rare derby win for the Graham Rowntree coached side.

Robbie Henshaw, Cian Healy and Rónan Kelleher all came through the semi-final loss at the weekend with no issues after their recovery from respective quad, ankle and shoulder issues.

James Lowe, who was part of the extended match day squad at the weekend, will train as normal this week.

Back row Scott Penny came through the Graduated Return to Play Protocols and will be "available for selection this week."

Leinster also confirmed that Will Connors, who was concussed in the opening minutes of the game, will enter Graduated Return to Play Protocols and will not be available.
