Graeme Le Saux is hoping to be fit for the clash at Manchester United after hurting his foot.
Le Saux was back in light training this week and he is focusing on his side's clash with the champions.
He told the club's official website: "It's the first time I have worn my boots for a couple of weeks so psychologically it is a bit of a step forwards.
"I am on the right track now. We have got a break without a Premiership game for a couple of weeks so I am hoping to progress and resume training at the beginning of next week.
"You can't look too far ahead with injuries but I am hopeful that I can be back to fitness within the next couple of weeks."
