The winger has been sidelined since suffering a hamstring injury during the 1-0 defeat to Newcastle on 7 December, a blow that has forced him to miss the following 19 fixtures.
However, while speaking to the media at the Aon Training Complex on Friday, Moyes gave a positive update on the talented Portuguese and three other injured Reds.
“Nani is back. He had a really bad hamstring injury. But he is back and has trained. Hopefully we get him up to speed very quickly,” the boss said. “Rafael, Javier Hernandez and Jonny Evans are all coming along. They all have a chance of playing on Sunday.”
Moyes also discussed his centre-backs, praising Phil Jones and Chris Smalling for their recent form while touching on the benefits of using Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand.
“I’m pleased with the young boys. We’ve had great service from Rio and Vida and we're using them because we need their experience. With the amount of games we have coming up we’re going to need them to be fit and healthy.”
