Toulon injury update ahead of Munster clash

Toulon head coach Fabien Galthié has remained optimistic that France captain Guilhem Guirado will be available for their Champions Cup quarter-final against Munster this weekend. 

The hooker has been training with the side since his injury in the Six Nations and said this at Tuesday's press conference: "I was fortunate to have two weeks of recovery after that shot in the right knee. I worked a lot and I began to feel again late last week. There is a big week's workday this Wednesday that should allow me to see even more clearly, "said the hooker

Should Guirado not be fit for the match, Anthony Etrillard is likely to start the match.

Galthie announced that Duane Vermeulen is fit to make his return but Juan Martin Fernandez Lobbe will be sidelined for up to 6 weeks with a fractured thumb. 

There is still doubt over Juandre Kruger's fitness.
