Cian Healy will not be available for Ireland's final two games of the Six Nations against Italy and France.

The Leinster man suffered a hip injury during the first half against England on Sunday. He had started Ireland's opening three games of the tournament at loosehead.

Dave Kilcoyne and Jack MacGrath are the loosehead options in the Ireland squad. Kilcoyne has come off the bench in Ireland's three games thus far, playing especially well against Scotland and Wales.

The Ireland squad returned to Dublin on Monday. 28 players will convene on Wednesday for a two-day camp. They will also take part in an opening training session against the Ireland U20s on Friday in Donnybrook.

Will Connors, Max Deegan, Chris Farrell, David Kearney, Luke McGrath and Jack O’Donoghue have all been released back to their provinces for Pro14 games.

Ulster players Billy Burns, Stuart McCloskey, Jack McGrath and Tom O’Toole will take part in camp as their province's game against Benneton has been postponed. After missing the game against England, Iain Henderson rejoins the squad.
