Ireland coach Andy Farrell said on Tuesday he had yet to rule out any of his squad's injured players from next week's November opener against world champions South Africa.
Recently installed as the number one men's team in international rugby union, Ireland begin their end-of-year campaign against South Africa in Dublin on 5 November, with Fiji and Australia also visiting Lansdowne Road next month.
The South Africa match will be Ireland's first Test since they completed a stunning 2-1 series win away to New Zealand in July.
Farrell, however, faces several tricky decisions over whether to pitch players who are at varying stages of recovery into an encounter with a Springbok team renowned for their all-round physicality.
