West Brom goalkeeper Ben Foster could be back in action next month.
The goalkeeper is set to resume training as he continues his recovery from a cruciate knee ligament injury.
"Ben is hopefully on the grass next week, that's getting closer for us," said Tony Pulis, ahead of Saturday's Barclays Premier League visit of Leicester.
"I don't think people have mentioned it as often as they could have, in respect to missing such an influential player - and an influential player in the dressing room as well.
"It's been a little bit of a setback but the lads have coped very well with it."
