Coach Robbie Deans has the option of replacing Ioane with returning utility back Adam Ashley-Cooper or specialist wingers Dom Shipperley or Drew Mitchell.
Ashley-Cooper would prefer to stay at outside centre, which would come at the expense of Ben Tapuai, but he did play on the wing in the first Bledisloe Test in August when Australia lost 27-19.
Mitchell hasn't played since he re-injured his ankle in the 22-0 second Test loss but has made a remarkable comeback after initially being told he required surgery.
Deans has said he would be considered for an immediate return but rookie Shipperley would be the more match-hardened choice.
In positive news for the home side, No.8 Radike Samo has been cleared for selection on Tuesday after overcoming a biceps problem.
The injury-depleted Wallabies know the enormity of their task as the All Blacks haven't lost since the 25-20 defeat in their last Brisbane visit 14 months ago.
Both Ashley-Cooper and five-eighth Kurtley Beale rated the world champions a more fearsome, in-form unit than when they swept through last year's World Cup.
One more victory will equal New Zealand's own record 17-match winning streak.
Meantime, cautious Wallabies skipper James Horwill has undergone precautionary scans to ensure his rehabilitation from hamstring surgery is continuing on the right track.
Lock Horwill still holds genuine hope of returning to action in the four-Test tour of Europe.
