Hunt has scored three goals in 19 appearances this season
Wolves midfielder Stephen Hunt hopes to be fit to face Aston Villa on 19 March after spending six weeks out injured.
The 29-year-old, who has not played since injuring his calf during the 1-0 FA Cup defeat by Stoke on 30 January, is set to resume training next week.
"If I'm not ready for Villa, there's an international break," he said.
"If I could get in the [Republic of Ireland] squad [to play Macedonia in a Euro 2012 qualifier on 26 March], maybe I could get some game minutes there."
Should both games come too early, Hunt will look to be fit for Wolves' Premier League game at Newcastle on Saturday, 2 April.
"I'm back running again and hopefully within the next week I'll be back training," he added.
"After that it's up to the gaffer [Wolves boss Mick McCarthy] as to when I'm involved. I feel as fresh as a daisy now and am looking forward to being back."
