Bristol City defender Rob Dickie is up for selection earlier than anticipated as they prepare for their game against Norwich City on Saturday (12:30 GMT).

The 30-year-old suffered a knee injury against Lincoln City in September and has missed the following seven league games.

"Rob is up for selection so that's great news," boss Michael Skubala told BBC Radio Bristol.

"Credit to the medical team and Rob for getting him back in November when we thought it was going to be not before Christmas."

Forward Elijah Adebayo is also available after a three match absence with a quad strain, but is unlikely to feature for the full 90 minutes.

Lorent Tolaj is set to feature although Skubala said the 25-year-old was still "not 100%" with the injury he picked up against Stoke last month.

City have lost their past three matches at Ashton Gate, scoring just once, with Skubala suggesting his side might "feel more free away from home."

However, there are question marks over defender Luke McNally's involvement as he makes his return from a long-term ACL injury.

"There's a big thought around Luke McNally but he's not injured or anything like that," Skubala said.

"Joe [Williams] is available but I think Luke McNally is a completely different decision. We have to do what's right."
