Munster are yet to rule JJ Hanrahan out of their Heineken Champions Cup opener against Ospreys.
Reds' head coach Johann van Graan has confirmed that a scan has shown "no serious" damage to the out-half's hamstring:
"He got a scan, slight possibility still for the weekend, we'll make a final call later in the week, otherwise hopefully next weekend.
"It's not serious, that's great news, that's not going to be long term, so we'll give him every chance possibly for this weekend, otherwise the next, and we'll just reassess as we go, but it's not serious."
Van Graan also feels that their recent loss to the Welsh side in the Guinness PRO14 will have little bearing on this week's match.
"We said it at the previous game in Cork, this game has got nothing to do with previous form, in our opinion.
"It's a new competition, it's a different referee group from England, so everything is different.
"Different players, different mindsets, you how teams look at this competition, so what happened before this game doesn't matter.
"It's Munster versus the Ospreys in round one of Europe and it's a game we're looking forward to very much, and the only thing we can worry about is what happens on Saturday afternoon."
