Johnny Sexton will miss the URC game against Glasgow this weekend

IRELAND AND LEINSTER CAPTAIN JOHNNY SEXTON will miss this weekend's United Rugby Championship game to Glasgow Warrior's after failing to overcome the calf injury he picked up in the Autumn Nations Series last Saturday.

Sexton pulled out of the game against Australia before kick-off and was replaced by Munster's Jack Crowley.

The 37-year-old also suffered a dead leg against South Africa and missed the Fiji game as a result.

The good news for Leinster is that Harry Byrne is available for selection following his return from a hamstring injury.

Leinster boss Leo Cullen has also confirmed that Ryan Baird and Rónan Kelleher are set to return to training after their recent injury troubles.

Jordan Larmour (foot) and James Lowe (calf) await decisions on their fitness as they continue to progress through rehab.

However Martin Moloney (knee), Ciarán Frawley (knee), Will Connors (bicep), Robbie Henshaw (hamstring), James Tracy (neck), Charlie Ryan (knee) and Tommy O’Brien (knee).

Leinster’s Heineken Cup winning squads of 2011 and 2012 will be presented to the crowd at half-time. Former head coach for Leinster Ireland, Joe Schmidt, will also be in attendance.

The game will kick off at 3.15pm

Tickets for the game are still on sale HERE.
