Norwich City defender Timm Klose says he's edging closer to a playing return.

Klose, 31, has endured an injury-hit season after damaging knee ligaments in the Carabao Cup defeat at Crawley Town in August.

Providing an injury update, Klose believes he'll be back in training soon enough, then it's just a matter of time before he's back in the matchday squads.

He told the club's website: “I'm very happy with my injury, it's gone! I think we're looking at coming back next week. Hopefully next week I'm back in training with the squad, then we'll see if I can get some games in.

“In my head I'd love to play the Leicester game, but our medical department is very smart, they know exactly how to deal with me to make sure I'm strong enough to not break down when I'm out there again. Sometimes they have to hold me back, but I'll push as hard as I can."
