Canterbury's national championship campaign begins on August 1 and Daniel Carter, a worldclass veteran of 59 tests for the All Blacks, could be available for the Cantebury province's first home game on August 14.
"I've done so much rehab on it now that the tendon is strong and it's just a matter of getting that last 10 per cent out of it," Carter said.
"I'm keen to get back out there and that's positive, because it shows the hunger is there. But I won't play unless I'm 100 per cent."
If Carter quickly recaptures his form he might be considered for New Zealand's Tri-Nations tests against South Africa and Australia in September.
He was previously thought likely to make his international return on the All Blacks' end-of-year tour to Europe.
