James Lowe has resumed training as Leinster prepare for their Champions Cup semi-final against Toulon in the Aviva Stadium on Saturday.

Lowe has been out of action since his injury against England in the Six Nations in February.

Winger Jordan Larmour and second-row Diarmuid Mangan have also returned to training following long-term injuries.

However, props Andrew Porter and Tadhg Furlong are doubtful ahead of this weekend's game.

Porter has not played since picking up an injury in the last 16 tie against Edinburgh, while Furlong came off with an injury in the defeat to Benetton on Saturday.

Ryan Baird has been ruled out of Saturday's game with an injury, along with utility back Charlie Tector.

Jack Boyle, Paddy McCarthy, RG Snyman, and Alex Usanov are all out with long-term injuries.
