Norwich City could face former Ipswich Town striker Connor Wickham on Sunday after the teenager returned to Sunderland from his loan spell at Championship side Sheffield Wednesday.
The 19-year-old joined the Owls on a temporary basis on February 8 and scored one goal – a 70th-minute winner at Leicester on Saturday – in his six appearances.
However, with Martin O’Neill’s men hovering precariously above the Premier League relegation zone ahead of Norwich’s visit to the Stadium of Light, Sunderland have declined to extend Wickham’s stay in South Yorkshire. A Sunderland club statement said: “Striker Connor Wickham has returned from his loan spell at Sheffield Wednesday.
“The England Under-21 international joined the Yorkshire club in early February and scored one goal in four starts plus a further two substitute appearances.
“Wickham, who has scored once in nine games for Sunderland this season, is available for Sunday’s home game against Norwich.”

Be interesting to see how good he is, or might be. Was it Steve Bruce that bought him from 1p5wich? "Big bucks"? He is playing for a top manager in MO`N and he`s still very young.
