Leinster lock James Ryan is a doubt for Leinster’s European Champions Cup match against Lyon on Sunday at the RDS, while outhalf Johnny Sexton is unlikely to feature in either of Leinster’s final two European pool games against the French side this week and Benetton the week after. It’s certainly not a long-term injury by any stretch of the imagination,” said Leinster coach Stuart Lancaster. “But he won’t be training today and we’ll obviously have to make a call by Wednesday really. We’ve got Scott Fardy and Devin Toner, Ross Molony and Ryan Baird. We’ve got some good opportunities there if James isn’t available.”Sexton, who injured ligaments in his knee playing in Leinster’s first game against Northampton, faces a time issue.
