Connacht will wait with bated breath for the outcome of a long list of medical reports on players that will have a big impact on the game plan of Michael Bradley in the second leg of their European Challenge Cup semi final with Sale at Edgeley Park (1pm) on Sunday.
Forwards Matt Lacey (shoulder), Peter Bracken (back), Ray Hogan (hamstring), Dan McFarland (shoulder) and John Fogarty (neck) and backs Darren Yapp (hamstring) and James Downey (calf) all have to prove their fitness to the coach.
Connacht expect to announce a squad at lunch time on Thursday.
