Joey Carbery injury status update expected today as Ireland prepare for Algarve training camp

Joey Carbery's injury status is expected to be made clearer today.

Carbery, 23, suffered an ankle injury in last Saturday's opening World Cup warm-up win against Italy at the Aviva Stadium.

Afterwards Ireland head coach Joe Schmidt confirmed that the Munster out-half had not suffered a fracture but there are still concerns over Carbery's fitness ahead of Ireland's trip to the Algarve tomorrow for the start of an eight-day training camp.

An update on Carbery, and on whether any more players have been released from the 41-strong provisional squad, is due today.

Ireland face England - who named their World Cup squad yesterday - at Twickenham on Saturday week, before back to back clashes with Wales to round off the warm-up series.
