Wales wing Alex Cuthbert says he hopes to be back in a couple of weeks ahead of the autumn international series.
Cuthbert, 32, has not played for Ospreys this season after suffering a shoulder injury against South Africa in July and has also been battling a leg problem.
Wales play New Zealand on 5 November before matches against Argentina, Georgia and Australia.
"I will hopefully be back soon," said Cuthbert.
Ospreys head coach Toby Booth has said he is not expecting to select Cuthbert in the next few weeks but the wing hopes to be involved in the United Rugby Championship in October.
"I just have a few things to tick off on the training park," Cuthbert told BBC Scrum V.
"It has been frustrating but hopefully it will be very soon, so we will see how it goes.
"I am looking hopefully at a couple of weeks. We have some big games coming up with Ulster, Stormers and the Dragons derby.
"I want to be playing big games for Ospreys and hopefully get back into the team."
Wales head coach Wayne Pivac has already lost Cardiff duo Liam Williams and Owen Lane and Dragons prop Leon Brown for the autumn series.
There are also concerns surrounding Cardiff flanker Josh Navidi (neck), Ospreys outside-half Gareth Anscombe (ribs) and Scarlets centre Johnny Williams (calf).
