Sheffield United midfielder John Fleck is expected to resume training next week following his collapse on the pitch at Reading.
The 30-year-old was taken to hospital after suffering a seizure during the second half of the Blades' win at the Madejski Stadium on November 23.
Fleck sat out Sunday's 2-0 home victory over Bristol City - a match he was actually suspended for after receiving his fifth yellow card of the season against the Royals.
Blades boss Paul Heckingbottom delivered a positive update on the Scotland international in his pre-match press conference on Thursday.
He said: "He's been in again today. He's got the all clear from the specialists so we're going to introduce him into training next week.
