Taylor returns for Canaries test

Taylor: Back for trip to Carrow Road

The centre-back was rested for the Blues' Carling Cup tie with Southampton on Tuesday but should return to replace his stand-in Stephen Kelly.

Striker James McFadden and midfielder Sebastian Larsson were also omitted from the squad for the trip to St Mary's with niggling injuries but are in line for recalls at Carrow Road.

Club captain Damien Johnson has returned to light training following an operation on his back but McLeish revealed he would still be sidelined for some time.

He told the club's official website: "It will be eight to 10 weeks before he'll start training with the first team again."
