Steven Reid is edging closer to a return at West Bromwich Albion.
Reid is hoping to return to action in next Tuesday's home Barclays Premier League clash with Wigan after his recovery from knee surgery.
He said: "I'm hoping to get back into full training at the weekend if I do enough with the physios over the next few days.
"I need to be in full training by then if I'm to have half a chance of being involved against Wigan.
"But I don't want to push it too much as I only had surgery two and a half weeks ago."
