England goalkeeper John Ruddy could return to the Norwich City line-up for their crucial game against Reading at the weekend.

Ruddy has been out of action for five months after tearing a thigh muscle at Everton in October.

He played his second full match in the Barclays Under-21 Development League win at Bolton last night, and impressed with a clean sheet in the 1-0 victory.
