Connacht have issued a positive update on captain Cian Prendergast.
The flanker was stretchered off the pitch at McHale Park last Saturday after being injured in a ruck with Munster's Alex Nankivell.
Prendergast was released from hospital on Sunday and is following return to play protocols before a possible return to training next week.
Shayne Bolton and Ben Murphy are both fit again and available for the Challenge Cup meeting with Cardiff this weekend.

Louis Bielle-Biarrey has been named the 2025 Guinness Men’s Six Nations Player of the Championship.
The France winger was chosen ahead of England back Tommy Freeman, Scotland fullback Blair Kinghorn, and Italy centre Tommaso Menoncello.
He broke a try scoring record that has stood since 2018 scoring eight tries.
That made him the player with the most tries in a Championship during the Six Nations era.
