Last season's leading goal scorer has yet to feature this campaign after undergoing knee surgery during the summer.
Maynard got another run-out for the reserves on Wednesday, playing an hour in a 1-1 draw against Swindon, and City boss Keith Millen believes he could be ready to come back into the first-team squad.
"Nicky could come into the squad for the Leeds game," Millen told the club`s official website.
"He says his knee feels fine after the recent reserve-team games and his fitness is improving all the time."
