Cunningham was forced to sit out Blues 2-2 draw with Fulham at St. Andrew's on Sunday, after picking up a groin injury while away on international duty with the Republic of Ireland.
The influential centre-back was at St. Andrew's for the game however, as part of the Sky Sports TV panel, and said that he wasn't that far-off making the game against the Cottagers and expects to be ready for a return by the time the game at Elland Road comes around on Saturday.
Cunningham was noticably missed on Sunday with Blues conceding their first goals of the season in his absence and the defence looking very shakey indeed without his calming influence and organisation.
