Centre Stewart Moore has been recalled from his loan to Newcastle Red Bulls by Ulster "due to recent injuries" in their senior squad.
The 26-year-old moved to the Prem club just 19 days ago and scored a hat-trick on his debut against Northampton Saints in the Prem Rugby Cup.
He had been due to start Newcastle's game against Saracens on Saturday.
In a statement, Ulster said that they had activated a recall clause to "ensure appropriate cover in key positions" and would provide a further update this week.
Stuart McCloskey has had his injury woes with Ireland this autumn, suffering a groin injury against New Zealand at the start of November and then going off injured against Australia with a recurrence of the same injury.
The Irish province sit fifth in the United Rugby Championship table after an impressive start to the season with three wins from their opening four games.
They return to action on Friday against Benetton (20:00 GMT) as the URC resumes following the autumn internationals.
