Reading defender Andre Garcia is a doubt for Saturday's visit of Peterborough United after picking up an ankle injury on international duty.
The 17-year-old played twice for England Under-18s, due reward for his impressive displays for the Royals in League One.
However, the full-back limped off after half an hour against France and left the match in Portugal on crutches.
While the ankle is mainly swelling and bruising, and more positive than many were expecting, Garcia is still a doubt for Saturday's League One return.
"He took a knock to the ankle," Hunt said ahead of the visit from Posh. "From the reports we got back it was positive. He came back on crutches from the game but since then he’s had a scan and it’s not too bad.
"There’s quite a bit of bruising and swelling but we assessed him today and we’ll see how he is tomorrow, so he potentially has a chance to be involved."
Jeriel Dorsett is the only other senior left-back and he has been missing for weeks with a hamstring issue.
Still not back yet, he is making good progress for a return.
"He is back on the grass and working well," Hunt confirmed. "They are very keen to make sure he gets the hamstring right because he can be a real asset to the football club when he’s fully fit.
"He’s been working on the grass in the last 10 days and he’s upping the ante, so we hope he’s with us next week."
Take a look below for a full round-up of the current injured group.
Ben Elliott
"Ben is ticking away. He ticked off another week, so he’s got another week [until full contact training] but he’s getting there and moving quite well."
Amadou Mbengue
"He’s still a bit away but he’s progressing quickly- he’s a quick healer. He’s had a couple of injections in the knee to stiffen the ligaments. He’s moving well so he will come into contact next week."
Harlee Dean
"Harlee is a tough one. He felt a niggle in his hip, and he’s gone for some imaging today with a view to see what the extent of the pain is. He’s been in and out a little bit and he was trying to get it right, but we teetered over the edge a little on Tuesday and it was too sore to train. We will get a scan, but he looks like he could be out for a week or two."
