SOUTHEND United manager Mark Molesley is hopeful Jason Demetriou will be fit enough to feature against Bradford City on Tuesday night.
The 33-year-old midfielder missed Saturday's 1-0 defeat to Mansfield Town at Roots Hall.
But Molesley is confident Demetriou will be back to face the Bantams.
“Hopefully JD will be back with us now," said Demetriou.
"He’s had a little injection but hopefully he will back on Tuesday.”
