Rovers Boss Les Parry hopes to have Owain Fon Williams available for selection on Saturday when Rovers travel to Wycombe.
The keeper could be included for the reserves at Manchester City on Monday night as he steps up his comeback from a hand injury.
And while there's encouraging news regarding Andy Robinson and Enoch Showunmi, physio Gregg Blundell has a new player to treat after Adam McGurk came off injured against Huddersfield.
The Manager told Tranmere Player: "We're making the decision today on whether Fonners plays against Manchester City tonight. Hopefully he will do because I don't really fancy putting him back in without having played a game.
"If he plays tonight and comes through ok he'll be ok for Saturday. If he doesn't play tonight and isn't right for Saturday we have contacted Leeds and asked if we could take Paul again and we're just waiting on a reply.
"Adam turned his ankle. He pulled out of a tackle and when he landed he went over on it. He was in a lot of discomfort. We like to let these things settle down but if it's as bad as it looks he's going to be out for weeks.
"Dave Raven has his operation tomorrow but all the others are starting to look good.
"Andy Robinson has started running and Enoch Showunmi has started running. Joss Labadie trained last week and should be ok."
