Jeremy Loughman has been called into the Ireland squad ahead of this weekend's Rugby World Cup warm-up game against England, while Jack Conan is said to be making good progress on his recovery from a foot injury.
Conan picked up the knock in the 33-17 win against Italy on 5 August, and stayed behind in Dublin last week when the Irish squad were in Portugal on a warm-weather training camp.
The Leinster number 8 is yet to return to full training with the Irish squad at their High Performance Centre in Dublin, but the Irish coaches appear to be pleased with his progress.
"He has been going really well through the week last week," Fogarty said.
Dave Kilcoyne (below) is likely to miss this Saturday's meeting with England after picking up a knock, which the Ireland scrum coach says isn't expected to be a long-term issue.
His Munster teammate Loughman has been called into the group this week as injury cover.
"To be honest, it is a pleasure to bring in Jeremy.
"I thought Munster, in the last six games, had done so well and Jeremy was part of that. He is going to add (to us).
"He had a really good session today. It's actually brilliant to be able to bring someone like Jeremy in that can add.
"Killer [Kilcoyne] is just looking after himself for the week, so Jeremy will step in with us."
Loughman had been unlucky to miss out on the original summer training squad after an impressive finish to the season with Munster.
The 28-year-old, who made his debut for Ireland against Fiji last November, returned from a long-term injury in April to start each of his province's final five games of their URC title success, overtaking Kilcoyne in the eyes of Munster head coach Graham Rowntree.
Ireland step up their World Cup preparations when they welcome England to the Aviva Stadium on Saturday.
The Irish squad were given last weekend off after four days of warm-weather training in Portugal, with temperatures going beyond 35C at their Algarve camp.
And Josh van der Flier (above), who is expected to make his first appearance of the pre-season this weekend, says training in those conditions could stand them in good stead for some of their earlier pool games in France next month.
"It was good to be somewhere different. You get quite used to the environment you're in so it was nice to get a bit of sunshine," the flanker said.
"Towards the end of the week I was looking forward to 15 degrees and cloudy days.
"It was a good mental break in that it was somewhere different, but it was very hard work. We got one of the toughest weeks we've had in pre-season, so it made the most of it.
"It was a good mix, some people had families out there and it made it quite a nice place to be. We'll take a lot from that and also getting a bit of heat exposure, it's possible against Samoa in Biarritz and into the World Cup that there might be a few warmer games."
