Leinster full-back Girvan Dempsey is confident he can overcome injury to play Friday's Heineken Cup clash against Swansea at Donnybrook.
He is one of three injury doubts, with wing Denis Hickie and front row Emmet Byrne also of concern to coach Matt Williams.
Dempsey suffered a groin injury during Friday night's friendly against Connacht in Athlone.
A Leinster spokesman said: "He [Dempsey] tweaked a groin muscle going up for a high ball . . . so he stopped in his tracks and came off . . . he's very confident that he'll be okay".
Winger Hickie sat out last Friday's victory over their Irish rivals as a precaution after picking up an ankle strain in Lanzarote during Ireland's pre-Christmas training camp.
Prop Byrne also missed the 25-3 win due to a bout of gastroenteritis.
"Denis should be okay and Emmet was back training today so we're hopeful that we'll be at fairly full strength," confirmed the spokesman.
With four wins out of four, Leinster top Pool Four ahead of Bristol and Montferrand, with Swansea propping up the table. Victory over Swansea should mean Leinster secure a home quarter-final slot.
