Peter Odemwingie is glad to be back in training after more than six months off due to knee ligament injury.
The Nigerian veteran collapsed in a game for Stoke City last August but is now set to return to the first team after his long lay off.
"I'm joining the team (in training) again and it's a big step in my rehab," Odemwingie told Sky Sports News HQ.
"It's just a bit over six months and I'm really pleased because it's a bit earlier than some players. I hope to be mentally right but it looks OK.
"I'm not scared and hopefully I can get one or two games before the end of the season."
In contrast, his compatriot Victor Moses could now be out for the rest of the season after pulling up injured with a hamstring during Saturday’s 1-1 draw against West Ham.
Potters manager Mark Hughes told the club’s official website that they could be without the Nigerian winger for the remainder of the season.
"It may well be that Victor's season is over unfortunately because of the type of injury he has got. He might get back but at the moment we're probably thinking that he won't make it,” said Hughes.
"It's a shame because Victor has done really well since he's been with us.
"He was our shining light in the early part of the season and then unfortunately he got a couple of quite serious injuries that held him back and in the end he hasn't been able to finish the season with us.
"He'll look back on his time with us and think he's made an impression and done well and we'd agree with that because he's been a really important figure for us this season.
