Bundee Aki's return this weekend should provide a boost for Connacht, as they face Munster at Thomond Park.
The Ireland international has been back in training in recent weeks, having been given extra time off following his tour with the British and Irish Lions this summer.
A shoulder injury for Tom Farrell means Aki is likely to be named in the starting team for the trip to Limerick.
Connacht take on Munster at 7.35 on Saturday evening.
