Ulster are sweating on the fitness of both Chris Henry and Paul Marshall for their Heineken Cup semi-final in Dublin on Saturday.
The Irish outfit have worked wonders to reach the last four of the European tournament and are now preparing to take on Edinburgh at the Aviva Stadium this weekend.
However, Ulster could have to do without the services of No.8 Henry, who has sprained his ankle ahead of the clash against the first Scottish outfit to reach the semi-finals of the Heineken Cup.
Meanwhile, scrum-half Marshall has picked up an elbow problem and now faces a race against time to be fit of Saturday's highly anticipated encounter.
A statement from the club read: "Chris Henry sustained an ankle sprain which is subject to ongoing treatment and re-assessment but at this stage he is not ruled out of contention.
"Paul Marshall continues to receive treatment for the injury to his right elbow sustained in the match against Connacht and re-assessment is ongoing."
