Canaries clash too soon for Murty

The full-back, who turned 35 last week, got a 60-minute run-out for the reserves on Monday night after almost three months out with a knee ligament injury.Saints will be wary of rushing Murty back too soon but he could make the bench against the Canaries.Fellow defender Lee Molyneux is also fit after a back injury so boss Alan Pardew has a full-strength squad to choose from.Midfielder Dean Hammond is expected to take the captain's armband from goalkeeper Kelvin Davis for the first time as Pardew wants an outfield player to lead the side.Davis will continue in his role as club captain.
