Waterford's Jack O'Donoghue is in the frame to make his first Munster appearance since suffering a serious knee ligament injury in May.
The province say the back row has returned to training, and will return to play in the coming weeks.
Great news for @JackODonoghue8 as he returns to squad training while a number of our internationals are back at the province and could see game-time in Friday night's clash against Southern Kings in Cork.

Munster face the Southern Kings in the Pro 14 this coming Friday at Irish Independent Park.
JJ Hanrahan is another who's returned to full training following a hip injury.
But centre Sammy Arnold will be unavailable "for the next few weeks" after sustaining a hairline fracture of his fibula.
