Johnny Sexton is expected to return for Ireland in their Six Nations clash against Scotland.

Johnny Sexton is among several big names expected to return for Ireland’s title clash against Scotland in Edinburgh on Sunday.

Sexton has been included in a 37-man training squad for the penultimate round of the Championship as Andy Farrell’s men step up their push for the Grand Slam.

The 37-year-old fly-half is expected to come in for Ross Byrne, who started the 34-20 victory over Italy, after struggling with a groin injury.

Jamison Gibson-Park, Tadhg Furlong and Robbie Henshaw are also present following spells out injured.
