Munster will be without Roman Salanoa and Liam O’Connor for Saturday’s opening game of the United Rugby Championship.
Salanoa has a knee problem that’s being reviewed by the province’s medical department.
While O’Connor is having an issue with his neck and arm that’s being seen to by a specialist.
Munster open their season with the visit of the Cell-C Sharks to Thomond Park.
Munster are hopeful that R-G Snyman can return to action in the coming weeks.
The Springbok second row has increased his training load, having missed his country’s series with the Lions due to burns.
