Wasps boss Dai Young could welcome back Joe Simpson and Dan Robson for Saturday's European Champions Cup quarter-final against Exeter Chiefs.
Simpson has been sidelined since January after undergoing ankle surgery, while his fellow scrum-half Robson has been hampered by a hand injury, but both nines are now back in training.
Bristol loan scrum-half Craig Hampson is not available for European action, so Simpson and Robson could plug a vital gap for Wasps ahead of the Ricoh Arena clash.
"Dan Robson and Joe Simpson are back in training, but they've got a bit of work to come through yet before we can consider them for selection," said Young.
"Fingers crossed we can go well for the next two days. If they come through the next couple of days, if they are fit, they will be in contention. But they've got a bit of work to do.
"Joe and Dan are our top two scrum-halves and like any team you want your top players available.
"It doesn't mean we're half a team if they're not playing, it doesn't mean we're a team and a half if they are playing.
"When you get to knockout games you just want as many of your best players playing as possible.
"If we can get as many of our recognised players on the field we'll be pleased, but if not we'll still deal with it."
All Blacks flyer Charles Piutau is also back in training after hamstring trouble and is another who must prove his fitness for Wasps this week.
