Marcell Coetzee suffers injury setback

Ulster flanker Marcell Coetzee has sustained another injury setback following a strong start to the 2018/19 season.

The Springbok flanker has been ruled out of action yet again after sustaining an injury against the Cheetahs last Friday.

Wiehahn Herbst (groin), Rob Herring (toe), Sean Reidy (hamstring) and Henry Speight (knee)  are also unavailable for selection against Munster.

The current injury list also includes:

Peter Browne (concussion)
David Busby (knee)
Louis Ludik (hamstring)
Chris Henry (calf)
Rob Lyttle (knee)
Luke Marshall (knee)
Kyle McCall (elbow)
