Leinster team news: Sean Cronin and James Lowe in line for Champions Cup final

Sean Cronin could make his comeback for Leinster in Saturday's Champions Cup final against Saracens in Newcastle.

And, after missing out on last year's final victory over Racing 92, danger man James Lowe could get a start for the defending champions as Jamison Gibson-Park will have a hamstring injury further assessed later in the week.

Cronin came off with a calf injury in the semi-final victory over Toulouse and will also be further assessed, while Rhys Ruddock comes back into the selection frame as he returns to training this week after coming through head injury protocols.

In a further boost to Leo Cullen, Andrew Porter had a minor muscle injury but is fit again, while Josh van der Flier could come into the picture for the PRO14 semi-final against Munster in just under a fortnight's time.

Leinster star Fergus McFadden hit with season-ending ban 

Barry Daly has been ruled out for the rest of the season after injuring his collarbone in the PRO14 loss to Ulster.
