Ireland will continue to monitor the fitness of absent prop Cian Healy following encouraging progress in his recovery from the injury which caused him to be left out of Andy Farrell\u2019s Rugby World Cup squad.<\/p>\n

Healy was certain to be included in Farrell\u2019s 33-man selection for France before suffering a calf problem against Samoa on August 26 in his country\u2019s final warm-up match.<\/p>\n

The vastly-experienced Leinster loosehead, who will turn 36 next Saturday \u2013 the day Ireland complete their Pool B fixtures against Scotland in Paris, posted a positive update on social media, saying his rehabilitation was \u201cahead of schedule\u201d.<\/p>\n

Ireland team manager Mick Kearney believes Healy \u201cwould be a great addition\u201d for later in the tournament, although he could only be called up if another player departed injured.<\/p>\n

\n<\/p>\n

\u201cThe medics and S and C (strength and conditioning) would be in regular contact with Cian and I\u2019m sure other players back home to see how their fitness levels are,\u201d said Kearney.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s great to see Cian back training and training well.<\/p>\n

\u201cPossibly later in the tournament, if we get an injury, Cian would be a great addition, if he was fully fit.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would say it\u2019s good to see him back training but it will require an injury to another player for Cian to be able to come in.\u201d<\/p>\n

Initial prognosis on Healy\u2019s injury suggested he would be sidelined for between five and 10 weeks.<\/p>\n

The lower end of that estimate was reached on Saturday, two days after an Instagram video showed the 125-cap front-row forward working hard in the gym and running on the training pitch.<\/p>\n

Healy, whose place in the squad was taken by Munster\u2019s Jeremy Loughman, captioned the footage with: \u201cIt wasn\u2019t easy getting here, but happy the body still knows how to recover ahead of schedule.<\/p>\n

\u201cLooking forward to getting back to it and will be forever grateful to those who got me to this point.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ireland are on the cusp of the quarter-finals following wins over Romania, Tonga and defending champions South Africa.<\/p>\n

Head coach Farrell has so far been fortunate with injuries and had a full complement of players training on Saturday ahead of next weekend\u2019s pivotal Stade de France showdown with the Scots.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, contingency plans are in place.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was a lot of conversations with the provinces during pre-season as to how we would keep the players fit that are not in the World Cup squad,\u201d said Kearney.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd you saw that there\u2019s a mini interprovincial series going on at the moment. Leinster played Ulster the other night and Munster played Leinster as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhether it be Jamie Osborne or Gavin Coombes, Kieran Treadwell, there\u2019s guys that are getting regular game time which is brilliant because initially I think the provinces might have said \u2018we may not start playing pre-season games until a little bit later\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo it\u2019s really good from our point of view that these guys are getting game time and will actually be match fit if they\u2019re called in, which is always a possibility.\u201d<\/p>\n
