Leo Cullen has revealed that James Lowe will be out "for a number of weeks", which suggest the flying Kiwi could yet play a part in Ireland's Six Nations challenge.
Lowe is among a number of big names omitted by the Blues for their final Champions Cup pool game in Bath at lunchtime tomorrow, with Tadgh Furlong and James Ryan also missing.
While Lowe wasn't named in Andy Farrell's 37-man Ireland squad in midweek, Furlong - who came off early in last Sunday's record-breaking win over Montpellier - and Ryan, who was withdrawn after the captain's run last Saturday, were included for the upcoming championship.
