Jonathan Davies will return to training on Thursday in a bid to prove his fitness ahead of Saturday's clash against Maori All Blacks, live on Sky Sports.
Wales centre Davies is the favourite to wear the Lions' No 13 shirt in the first Test against New Zealand on June 24, live on Sky Sports.
The 29-year-old suffered a head injury in the Lions' 12-3 win over Crusaders on Saturday, however, and missed Tuesday's 23-22 loss to the Highlanders.
The Lions hope the in-form Scarlets star can complete the return-to-play protocols in time for the clash with the Maori All Blacks clash in Rotorua - where the tourists are likely to field a line-up close to their Test XV.
"Jonathan is still going through protocols but hopefully he'll be back in training (on Thursday) and we'll see from there," said Lions assistant coach Neil Jenkins, who also hopes Ross Moriarty will beat a back spasm before Saturday.
"Ross has been back in training doing a little bit of running, and hopefully he'll come through as well."
Courtney Lawes suffered a head injury in Tuesday's loss to the Highlanders, and Jenkins admits the England lock is unlikely to recover in time to feature this weekend.
"Courtney's been okay today but it's the same as always with head injuries - the protocols and see how he goes for the rest of the week," said Jenkins.
"He's a tough old character, he wanted to walk off the pitch, albeit with a bit of help. But the likelihood is he will miss the weekend."
Tour captain Sam Warburton returned from ankle trouble to start the Dunedin defeat to the Highlanders, as he steps up his bid to be ready for the three-Test All Blacks series.
Up next the British and Irish Lions take on the Maori All Blacks in Rotorua on Saturday, with the action kicking off from 8am on Sky Sports 1.
