Norwich City vs Blackpool preview - Andreu could make Norwich debut

Posted Friday, February 06, 2015 by PA

French forward Tony Andreu will be included in the Norwich squad for the visit of Blackpool to Carrow Road in the Sky Bet Championship.

The 26-year-old was reunited with manager Alex Neil after joining from Hamilton on deadline day for an undisclosed fee, signing a three-and-a-half-year deal.

Midfielder Jonny Howson is also available after serving a three-match ban after his dismissal in the win at Bournemouth last month.

Sebastien Bassong is expected to retain his place after helping City keep a clean sheet in the goalless draw at Birmingham in his first appearance for the club since April.

Blackpool are set to be without goalkeeper Joe Lewis for the trip to Norfolk.

Manager Lee Clark revealed the Cardiff loanee had been taken ill and did not travel with the squad, meaning youth team keeper Myles Boney could earn a spot on the bench.

Apart from that, Blackpool have no new injury concerns as they look to haul themselves off the foot of the Championship table.

Defender Tom Aldred was an unused substitute during last weekend's 1-0 defeat to Brighton and may feature for the first time since joining on an 18-month contract from Accrington.
