Yoane Wissa has returned to training with the Brentford squad and could play this weekend, according to head coach Keith Andrews.
The 28-year-old DR Congo international missed last weekend's Premier League opening-day defeat at Nottingham Forest after saying he wished to leave the club, with Newcastle keen to sign him.
However, A second bid from from the Magpies, worth up to £40m, was rejected this week.
"He's been training with the team," said Andrews.
"In terms of being involved this weekend I'll make a decision on the squad on Saturday. He's been part of the group this week."
"He's a Brentford player right now. My stance around Yoane all along is that I don't want him to leave.
"I don't want to lose a player of that quality and that hasn't really changed throughout the whole episode. So hopefully he is here in the next 10 or 12 days. That is what I would like."
