Irish duo back in fold as Idah and Omobamidele return for Norwich

Republic of Ireland internationals Adam Idah and Andrew Omobamidele are back from injury and available to play for their club Norwich City, according to manager Dean Smith.

Idah is still only just 21-years-old, whilst his Norwich City team-mate Omobamidele will not turn 21 until June next year.

It will be welcome news to Ireland boss Stephen Kenny as both players are highly thought of and will surely be in contention provided they are both fit for next spring's European Championship qualifier with France.

Leixlip-born Omobamidele has struggled with an ankle injury over the past couple of months after an encouraging start to the season where he was hailed as one of the English Championship's best defenders.

Meanwhile Idah's injuries have kept him out for most of the season, the Corkman has only made one appearance in the league this term.

Whilst the football world will be fixated on events in Qatar, the English Championship restarts on Saturday, with Norwich City heading to south Wales to take on Swansea City.

Speaking ahead of the game, Norwich manager Smith announced that the Irish duo Idah and Omobamidele are back in contention:

"The two of them played 30 minutes in a game last Saturday, both trained this week and both available for selection. They're a big inclusion to this squad."

The break for the World Cup perhaps came at a good time for the young Irish prospects as it allowed time for rest and rehabilitation.

Man of the Match Adam Idah feels that Ireland were unlucky not to get all three points from their World Cup qualifier draw with Azerbaijan.
