The Wellington Phoenix only met up with the squad in South Africa last week following surgery on his injured shoulder.
He sat out the draw against Slovakia but is keen to realise his FIFA World Cup dream by making it onto the pitch as soon as possible.
Coach Ricki Herbert is pleased with the way Brown is performing in training and says he is progressing well.
“You know what players are like. They want to step out tomorrow but Tim is realistic,” Herbert says.
“I am not going to put any pressure on him. If he’s positive and comfortable around selection time, he will be considered.”
