Munster hooker Jerry Flannery is bracing himself for bad news today when the details of his latest injury breakdown are disclosed. The Irish Independent's Ian Bransfield reports.
"figure as he was helped from the field 28 minutes into his Munster comeback during Saturday's victory over Ulster at Thomond Park.
The source of concern was once again a calf muscle, although not the same one which has curtailed his involvement for much of this season already.
Flannery was taken for a scan yesterday and the results should be known by today.
Speaking after the match, coach Tony McGahan gave no indication as to the severity of the situation, but confirmed that it was a fresh injury and not a recurrence of his old problem.
"He's quite upset and everybody is feeling for him," said McGahan. "He's worked really hard to get back to where he was, and there's no doubt that he'll get back from this one as well."
