Norwich City have received a timely injury boost with the news that winger Lee Croft is ready to resume first-team action.

The 21-year-old has been sidelined since damaging ankle ligaments almost two months ago.

But, despite a reserve team outing at Milton Keynes being postponed during the week, Croft could be recalled for Saturday's trip to Southampton should Canaries boss Peter Grant looks to shake-up his inconsistent side.

"I'm disappointed because I'd prepared myself for this for the last few days," said Croft.

"But we had a very intense session this morning and I came through without any problems and I can't wait for the weekend. I'll be ready if the gaffer wants me.

"It's up to him what we do, that's nothing to do with me, but I will be doing everything I can this week to show him I'm ready.

"I have worked hard while I was injured and I felt good, not off the pace at all."
