Moritz Leitner could return to Norwich’s starting line-up

Sky Bet Championship leaders Norwich could see Moritz Leitner back in the side for the visit of fellow promotion hopefuls Bristol City.

The German playmaker has recovered from a calf injury and came off the bench for the closing stages of last weekend’s 4-0 win at Bolton, where defender Timm Klose, fit again following an ankle problem, was an unused substitute.

Midfielders Alex Tettey and Mario Vrancic, though, remain sidelined by their respective ankle problems.

Forward Carlton Morris (ankle) and midfielder Louis Thompson (knee) both continue their recoveries.

Bristol City have a near full squad available as they aim for an eighth straight Championship win.

Forward Andreas Weimann (back) continues to be assessed having not featured in last weekend’s FA Cup fifth-round defeat against Wolves.

Defender Jack Hunt could be involved after returning to training following a calf problem.

Goalkeeper Niki Maenpaa (calf) is also stepping up his recovery, while midfielder Korey Smith has started running again following a knee injury.
