Connacht have been given a psychological boost by the return to fitness of Ray Ofisa, Gavin Duffy and Keith Matthews.
The Westerners will need all hands on deck to continue their recent good form at home to The Scarlets at The Sportsground on Friday night.
Flanker Ofisa will provide greater depth to the back row with first choice full-back Duffy and versatile three-quarter Matthews adding to the oprions in the backline.
The Connacht squad will be announced on Wednesday with the starting fifteen named on Thursday.
