Harry Redknapp reckons Sandro will be back to face Stoke away on January 31.
The ex-Spurs player hasn't set foot on a first-team pitch since he limped off in the 1-0 defeat at Newcastle on November 22 due to a knee injury caused when he collided with team-mate Yun.
In fact, the 25-year-old has played only eight times for the Premier League strugglers since joining in the summer, and completed 90 minutes just twice due to other niggling injury problems.
However, his manager believes the light is at the end of a long tunnel for the Brazilian international.
"He's coming on. After the Man United game, there's a fortnight break, so he'll be hopefully back for the Stoke game," added Harry.
