Norwich team news: Ipswich (A)

Norwich City head coach Daniel Farke has handed out the latest squad news ahead of the East Anglian derby clash against Ipswich on Sunday at Portman Road.

Farke started off with some positive news. Nelson Oliveira is getting closer to full fitness and has a chance of starting.

Oliveira has been struggling with a groin injury over the past month but came off the bench to score a 96th minute equaliser against Hull last weekend.

The Portuguese forward is the club’s top goalscorer this season, with five goals in four starts in the Championship.

Cameron Jerome, who could start if Oliveira is not fit, has scored one in nine games in the league this season.

Speaking to Norwich’s website, Farke said this:

Nelson has trained all week but although he still feels pain sometimes he is in a better position.

He will certainly be able to play for longer than he did against Hull, but we’ll have to see whether he’s 100% to be able to start.

Marco Stiepermann is also back for Norwich and ready to start after missing the past few games.

Farke says that Josh Murphy could return after breaking his toe last week and sitting out the game against Hull.

Murphy has trained in the last two days and he should be available for at least the bench but it depends on how his toe reacts in the next two days.

It’s good we should have more offensive options than we did against Hull.
