Norwich City boss Chris Hughton has suggested that England goalkeeper John Ruddy could return to action against Aston Villa this weekend.

The 26-year-old has not played since November after undergoing surgery on a troublesome thigh, but he made his return for the reserves on April 15.

"What we are conscious of is he has been out for a long time, but John has had a period of training now and has played some development games, so we will make the decisions in house," Hughton told reporters at a press conference.

Norwich currently sit 14th in the Premier League table.
