Ward in contention for Canaries

Norwich defender Elliott Ward could be in line to make his first appearance of the season when the Canaries visit Swansea tomorrow after six months on the sidelines with a knee problem.

Centre-back Daniel Ayala will be out of action for around four weeks with a hamstring injury and partner Zak Whitbread is doubtful as he recovers from a hamstring strain.

Full-back Marc Tierney has still not recovered from a groin problem while striker James Vaughan is training well but not yet match fit.

Provisional squad: Ruddy, Naughton, Bennett, Martin, Whitbread Drury, Fox, Pilkington, Surman, Hoolahan, Holt, Jackson, Morison, Steer, Johnson, Crofts, Wilbraham, Ward, Lappin, Barnett.
