Tadhg Furlong, James Ryan and Iain Henderson will be ready to train fully tomorrow as Ireland ramp up their preparations for Saturday's opening Six Nations clash with Wales at the Aviva Stadium.
The experienced trio have been managing their training loads at Ireland's base in Portugal since last Thursday, when the squad arrived in Quinta da Lago.
The squad is not training today but the trio are expected to get back to full tilt tomorrow, which means head coach Andy Farrell will have a full complement of players to select from as Ireland begin their championship bid.
Keith Earls, Josh van der Flier and Joey Carbery have all returned to full training already.
Earls and van der Flier have recovered from strains while Carbery is fully fit again after elbow surgery and could make his latest comeback off the bench as back-up to Johnny Sexton at the weekend.
The squad will return to Dublin on Wednesday afternoon ahead of the clash with the reigning champions.
Farrell will name his matchday squad at lunchtime on Thursday.
