Munster have confirmed that World Cup winning signing Damian de Allende has already completed his 14-day period of self-isolation having arrived in Ireland.
The South Africa centre will begin training with the province after the squad's three-week break that has just commenced, with the current training block of remote training completed.
The Reds are hopeful that de Allende's Springbok colleague RG Snyman as well as fellow new signing Matt Gallagher, who has joined from Saracens, will also be ready to begin training with their new team-mates.
A Munster statement reads: "Current government measures require passengers to complete a public health passenger locator form and to self-isolate for a 14-day period.
"De Allende has already completed his self-isolation period."
Prop Roman Salanoa, Munster's new signing from Leinster, will also meet up with the Reds, while academy quartet Liam Coombes, Keynan Knox, Alex McHenry and Jack O’Sullivan will all join the province's senior squad.
Munster head coach Johann van Graan will be hopeful of getting his first look at his new recruits when the Reds return to action with a Guinness PRO14 interpro behind closed doors at the Aviva Stadium on the weekend of August 22/23.
Departing squad members Sammy Arnold, Tyler Bleyendaal, Arno Botha, Seán O’Connor, Darren O’Shea, Conor Oliver, Ciaran Parker and Brian Scott said their goodbyes in a final remote squad session last Thursday.
