Rickie Lambert 'fit' for Southampton

Southampton striker Rickie Lambert has reportedly been passed fit for Wednesday's Premier League meeting with Norwich City.

The 30-year-old has scored five league goals for the club this season, but his fitness had been called into doubt after suffering a leg injury in the 2-0 win over Newcastle United on Sunday.

However, according to BBC Sport, scans have revealed that the Englishman has suffered no lasting damage and is therefore expected to lead the Saints attack once more.

Lambert, who joined the club from Bristol Rovers in 2009, scored 27 league goals last season as Southampton gained promotion to the Premier League.
