Hannover striker Mame Biram Diouf has returned to full training having completed a session on Wednesday.
Diouf has been out with a thigh strain since the end of September but could be in the reckoning for a return to the squad for Saturday's game away to Borussia Dortmund.
The Senegalese scored twice and added an assist in his opening two games of the season and his return will be timely following Didier Ya Konan's expected lengthy absence.
Diouf was Hannover's top scorer last season and has scored twice in 15 caps for his country.
