Midfielder Otis Khan is optimistic regarding the possibility of rejoining the Pakistan team, even though he was unable to participate in a World Cup qualifier earlier this month.
Khan, 28, was informed just two hours prior to the match that he would be unable to take part in the game against Cambodia.
He had previously made his debut against Mauritius, but a question regarding his eligibility led to his exclusion.
"I'm sure it will be resolved," Khan told BBC Radio Humberside.
"The conversation has been positive. Things are looking well at the moment. I've got a Pakistani passport and an identity card.
"Fifa need to get a few more letters and documents from the Pakistani government, and I'm sure it'll be resolved."
Pakistan Football Federation (PFF) have pushed Khan's case. The PFF stated, after Khan was unable to participate in the match against Cambodia:
"The issue revolves around a specific requirement that one of Otis' grandparents must have been born in Pakistan.
"In his case, his grandfather was born in Delhi, British India, prior to the partition and subsequently migrated to Pakistan, like millions of others. Fifa has neither confirmed his ineligibility nor definitively declared him eligible, and their decision remains pending.
"We want to emphasise that we are actively collaborating with Fifa to address this matter comprehensively."
Pakistan won their first-round, second-leg qualifier against Cambodia and have now been placed in a group with Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and Tajikistan in their attempt to qualify for the 2026 World Cup.
"It's a high-priority case," Khan added. "They've reassured me that they're looking into it and doing everything they possibly can, Fifa and the Pakistani government.
"The next game coming up is three or four weeks away so it's more than enough time to get it done.
