Lee Chong Wei is set to return to training at the Badminton Academy Malaysia within two weeks.
It was confirmed by Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) president Norza Zakaria, who revealed the three-time Olympic silver medalist was in good shape.
"I understand Chong Wei has met his coach, Hendrawan, and expressed his intention to return to the court as soon as possible, but he needs to get permission from his doctor first.
"For now, Chong Wei has only performed physical exercise and has also visited other players during training sessions.
"For the BAM, we want to let him go through the recovery process first as advised by the doctor," he told the media on Tuesday.
Norza also believed the 36-year-old would be ready to play in the 2020 Olympics qualifier scheduled to start in May next year.
Earlier this year, Lee was detected to have an early stage of nose cancer after the Indonesian Open and travelled to Taiwan for treatment.
After undergoing treatment for nearly three months, he returned to Malaysia in October and then made his first public appearance in November, confirming his recovery and intention to return to playing.
