Timm Klose was part of the Norwich City squad training at Colney on Thursday ahead of the Canaries’ Premier League game against Southampton.

Klose returned to full team training this week after a season wrecked by the knee issue on League Cup duty at Crawley Town in August.

The Swiss international could be in the selection mix the other side of the upcoming international break if he suffers no adverse reaction from stepping up his return to full fitness.

Fellow centre back Christoph Zimmermann was not involved in the open part of the training session after returning to the bench at Sheffield United following a muscular problem. Todd Cantwell and Mario Vrancic were also not outside for the start of the morning session.

The likes of Sam Byram (hamstring) and Onel Hernandez (knee) are definitely ruled out for City's vital top flight home game on Saturday against Southampton.
