Brian O’Driscoll could be fit to face Saracens

Leinster’s Brian O’Driscoll could be fit to face Saracens in the province's next Heineken cup match.

O’Driscoll picked up a hamstring injury in Leinster’s 28-22 victory over Racing-Métro 92 in the RDS.

A scan on the injury, however, revealed that there wasn’t any tears.

"I'd say Brian, Joe and the medical team will sort of collaborate," Jono Gibbes the forwards coach said.

"He's a pretty experienced player and has been through these sort of injuries before, so he can give good insight.

"But it will be a collaboration. I'm sure the Irish medical team will liaise with the Leinster medical team and I think everyone will be in the picture.

"We had a pretty light Monday/Tuesday last week and got most of our work done on Thursday, so for guys like Brian or Leo, those couple of days are light at the start of the week.

"O'Driscoll really needs to get through Thursday, it's just kind of worked out like that."

Leo Cullen has also recovered from shoulder injury, while Shaun Berne has recovered from an Achilles problem.
