Rangers boss Steven Gerrard has taken his team to Portugal this week, as they look to cause an upset in the Europa League.
King joined Rangers in the summer, but he has made a slow start at Ibrox with injury hampering his chances.
The midfielder has not been in a Rangers squad at all in October, as he has been recovering from a set-back.
But Gerrard hopes that the summer signing could come back into contention at the weekend.
“Andy King’s got an injury at the moment but it’s not too bad. All being well, he’ll have a chance of being available for the weekend,” he said.
“Him and Jordan Jones are the only injuries at the moment. Everyone else was available and we’ve brought 20 here, so we’re in good shape.”
If King is fit enough to feature for Rangers at the weekend it seems likely that he will start from the bench, although Gerrard could be keen to make changes.
Rangers are in action against Porto tonight, in what looks set to be a hugely tough test in the Europa League.
Rangers players may well be fatigued from their exertions tonight, which could force Gerrard into making alterations on Sunday, when they return to domestic matters.
Gerrard will want to get his team selection right against Motherwell, as his side are under pressure to get three points.
Rangers let their lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership table slip last week, so they will be wanting to bounce back from that disappointment as soon as possible.
