Michael Dawson is back in the frame for tomorrow's Premier League clash at Stoke.
The skipper has only featured off the bench once since initially damaging his hamstring at Chelsea on March 8.
He has trained fully this week and Head Coach Tim Sherwood reported on Friday: "Michael has made good progress and will be in the squad."
Tim also said that Mousa Dembele was a doubt with an ankle injury.
Etienne Capoue has also returned to training this week but is not yet ready for a return while Jan Vertonghen (ankle), Kyle Walker (pelvis) and Erik Lamela (back) remain sidelined.
