Lansbury back for City

14 January 2011 12:00
On-loan Arsenal midfielder Henri Lansbury returns to the Norwich squad for the Championship clash with Cardiff at Carrow Road. Lansbury has missed the last four games with a hamstring injury and is due to play the final match of his agreement, although boss Paul Lambert may look to extend his stay. New signing Marc Tierney is available but is not expected to dislodge the long-serving Adam Drury at left-back while goalkeeper Declan Rudd (broken jaw) is out so 18-year-old Jed Steer will deputise on the bench. Midfielders Andrew Surman and Stephen Hughes are recovering well from knee injuries but are unlikely to be involved while centre-half Elliott Ward (calf) is also making good progress. Striker Oli Johnson will not be involved after he joined Yeovil on a one-month loan.
