Croft, 27, has not played since undergoing surgery after damaging his neck during the Premiership clash with Harlequins in April but the Tigers registered him in their original 38-man squad before the start of the 18th Heineken Cup competition and he is now set to add to his 22 tournament appearances
"Tom has put weight on and is looking in good shape," said Director of Rugby Richard Cockerill.
"We feel that extra bulk will make him more robust. He actually looks like a rugby player now and it's just the healing of the bones that has to be right.
"It will be a slow integration and we will have to look after him. He hasn't played for eight months and we are conscious of that. His injury was a serious one and it's about him being confident when he comes back."
