Leinster head coach Leo Cullen refused to speculate on whether Johnny Sexton would be fit in time for the Six Nations, after the Ireland fly-half limped off with a calf injury during the 24-24 Champions Cup draw in Castres.
Sexton opened the scoring with a penalty at Stade Pierre Antoine but had to be substituted midway through the first half.
Ireland's Six Nations opener, away to Scotland, is on Feb. 4.
Cullen said: "We'll see how he [Sexton] is. It's very early days yet. He'll get a scan early next week. Obviously he's got all next week and the week after before the Six Nations."
Robbie Henshaw scored two tries and Dan Leavy also crossed for Leinster, with a David Smith double and Antoine Dupont registering for Castres, who finished the game with a numerical advantage, which they failed to make tell after Mike McCarthy was shown a yellow card.
Cullen admitted his side were "probably lucky to get a draw".
He added: "We were just hanging in there for the last six or seven minutes. I think the guys did well to hold out, as Castres were going for the win.
"After they got into the lead, we did well to fight back into the game. We had a lot of breaks, but we couldn't find that support player. It was very much a mixed bag."
