Freddie Burns is fit to face Gloucester in Friday night's return to Premiership rugby at Welford Road.
Leicester's fears over a potential fly-half injury crisis have been eased after the former Cherry and White had to pull out before the Tigers' LV= Cup match with Cardiff Blues with a back spasm.
Welsh fly-half Owen Williams limped out of the game with a twisted knee following several minutes of treatment.
Freddie Burns had been due to start last week's game in Wales until he had to pull out with a back spasm.
Tigers director of rugby Richard Cockerill could have been forced to start either one of two part-time fly-halves in Seremaia Bai or David Mele.
He has since confirmed that Burns is fit for a face-off with his former employer.
He said: "Freddie got a bask spasm but he is now good. Owen got a bang to his knee and we are assessing that. We are hoping he will be all right for the weekend but, at this point, we are assessing it."
Cockerill also confirmed that several other players including Laurence Pearce, Blaine Scully and Christian Loamanu have returned to fitness.
Anthony Allen and Brad Thorn will miss the Gloucester game, however, as they continue to receive treatment for injuries.
Lock Graham Kitchener could be involved if he is not included in England's 23-man squad to face Italy.
Gloucester secured a memorable 33-16 win over Leicester at Kingsholm in October and, despite a slide down the table since then, spirits are high after a run of six wins in all competitions.
"Gloucester is a very important game for us," said Cockerill."We will try and win all our remaining games.That starts on Friday and we will not be thinking past that.
"There are guys away with England and Italy and some injured but that is no different to Gloucester.We win this and we are right back in the mix."
