Ireland vice-captain Paul O'Connell has returned to the Munster squad after being out since mid-January.
He is named by coach Declan Kidney in the extended squad to travel to Edinburgh for the Magner's League tie on Friday night.
Number eight Anthony Foley has been included as captain, indicating that O'Connell is not quite sure whether he will be able to play.
It is most likely he will find a place on the bench.
