Springbok flank Juan Smith, and Welsh fullback Leigh Halfpenny, have both been included in Toulon's European Cup semifinal squad to take on Leinster in Marseille's Velodrome Stadium this weekend.
However, centre Maxime Mermoz has been ruled out.
France international Mermoz suffered a wrist injury and will miss the tie against the Irish province on Sunday.
Halfpenny was sidelined with a dislocated shoulder during Saturday's 35-24 win over Grenoble in the Top 14.
The fullback went off after 43 minutes, but the injury is less serious than first feared by coach Bernard Laporte.
South African flank Smith returns from a knee sprain.
