Malclom O'Kelly could make his comeback for Leinster this weekend having been included in the squad for this weekend's Magners Celtic League clash with Connacht.
O'Kelly has been struggling with a knee injury since the end of January and missed Ireland's entire Six Nations campaign.
Felipe Contepomi and Luke Fitzgerald have also named in the squad after recovering from knocks picked up recently and their involvement will be a welcome boost for coach Michael Cheika who will be without captain Brian O'Driscoll for at least a month
Girvan Dempsey, Shane Horgan and Denis Hickie and Trevor Hogan all return from international duty for Saturday's match at Donnybrook where Leinster will be seeking to strengthen their position at the top of the Celtic League standings.
Cheika will name his side on Friday afternoon.
Leinster squad: Fosi Pala'amo, Stanley Wright, Reggie Corrigan, Will Green, Bernard Jackman, Brian Blaney, Malcolm O'Kelly, Trevor Hogan, Owen Finegan, Cameron Jowitt, Devin Toner, Keith Gleeson, Stephen Keogh, Jamie Heaslip, Kevin McLaughlin; Chris Whitaker, Guy Easterby, Christian Warner, Felipe Contepomi, Michael Berne, Kieran Lewis, Luke Fitzgerald, Rob Kearney, Gordon D'Arcy, Shane Horgan, Denis Hickie, Girvan Dempsey, Gary Brown, Ross McCarron, Jonathan Sexton
