Hernandez could return for Norwich

Norwich winger Onel Hernandez is in contention for a return to action in the Sky Bet Championship clash with Stoke at Carrow Road.

Hernandez has been sidelined since mid-September with a hernia problem, but Canaries boss Daniel Farke confirmed the German midfielder should be included in the squad again.

Ben Marshall is stepping up his recovery from illness, while captain Grant Hanley remains sidelined by a thigh problem.

Midfielder Kenny McLean (ankle) continues his rehabilitation along with winger Matt Jarvis (ankle/knee) and forward Carlton Morris (knee).

Stoke boss Gary Rowett has no fresh injury problems for the trip to Norfolk.

Winger James McClean showed no ill effects from his return to action in following a broken arm in the midweek win over Bolton.

Forward Mame Diouf has been training again after a hamstring problem, so will come into contention.

Midfielder Sam Clucas, a summer signing from Swansea, continues his recovery from knee surgery and should be available for a belated debut after the international break, while Thibaud Verlinden remains in the treatment room.
