West Bromwich Albion goalkeeper Ben Foster has suggested that he could return to action against Norwich City this weekend after a lengthy spell on the sidelines.

The 29-year-old shot-stopper has been out of contention for the Baggies' last seven games after having two hernia operations.

"I got back into training and pretty much straight away it was apparent the other side needed doing," Foster told the club's official website.

"So it's been a whole lot longer than I thought it was going to be but hopefully it's all sorted now and we can crack on.

"I started training properly yesterday so we will see how training goes this week and take it from there. I trained fine yesterday. I felt absolutely fine."

Boaz Myhill has been the stand-in keeper for Foster since his absence.
