IRELAND international Rob Kearney has emerged as an early tour injury concern for Warren Gatland's British and Irish Lions.
Leinster full-back Kearney has a hamstring problem and head coach Gatland is planning to keep a close eye on his progress.
Gatland said: "He is a little bit of a concern for us at the moment, to be honest.
"He's got a grade one tear and we are going to see how he responds, so we've got to be potentially prepared that that hamstring might not heal as quickly as we would like.
"We want to give him some time. We scanned him in Hong Kong, it came back as a grade one tear and the medics have put in a plan for the next week or so.
"We feel like we've got cover at the moment with Leigh Halfpenny and Stuart Hogg, and obviously Sean Maitland has played quite a lot at full-back as well.
"We will see how Rob progresses. There have been some markers put in place. If we can hit those in the right timescale we can hopefully bring him back. But it looks a little bit concerning at this stage."
Meanwhile, Kearney's Leinster and Ireland team-mate Brian O'Driscoll, leads a powerful side containing eight Irishmen, four Welsh and three English to play Western Force in Perth on Wednesday.
As expected, there are 15 changes from the side that crushed the Barbarians 59-8 in hot and humid Hong Kong two days ago, with Halfpenny, wing Tommy Bowe, centre Manu Tuilagi, hooker Rory Best and flanker Tom Croft among those who make their first tour starts.
Four of the side that started at Hong Kong Stadium — prop Mako Vunipola, No. 8 Toby Faletau, fly-half Owen Farrell and wing Sean Maitland — are on bench duty this time around.
Tour skipper Sam Warburton is kept waiting for his first appearance after careful management of a knee injury, but that moment looks set to arrive against Queensland Reds in Brisbane on Saturday.
"We've said that we were going to keep him (Warburton) out of training for about five days after he had that injection," Gatland said.
"He has been coming back and doing some of his own training, so the five days was before he was ready to start full contact.
"We are just trying to make sure that everyone is getting the same opportunity, and we want the whole team training together that is taking the field.
"It's only fair to the other players around him that they get that chance and so Sam, after Wednesday, will come and train with us over the next couple of days with the non-23 and then put himself into contention for selection for Saturday."
