Infantino will receive a recommendation from Uefa's executive committee where he has assisted Michel Platini for the last six years.
Platini has also submitted his candidacy for the election but is currently banned for 90 days pending a disciplinary hearing into a £1.3million payment signed off by outgoing president Sepp Blatter in 2011.
Sources close to Uefa have disclosed to Press Association Sport that an emergency meeting of Uefa's executive committee - via teleconference - has been called where Infantino's candidacy will be discussed.
It comes after Asian football's leader Sheikh Salman bin Ebrahim Al Khalifa became the sixth candidate to submit his candidacy for the Fifa presidential election, according to the official Bahrain news agency.
