Bradford City goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts could be in line to replace the injured Robert Green between the sticks at Carrow Road.

National newspaper reports over the weekend have linked Jamaican international stopper Donovan Ricketts with a move to Norwich.

The Times, Mail and Independent went as far as to say that a bid had been accepted by Bradford City for the goalkeeper who was brought to England by Bolton Wanderers boss Sam Allardyce. According to the reports, the 28-year-old could complete a move this week.

Norwich's goalkeeping situation has been brought to national attention after the high profile collapse of England squad member Robert Green in Thursday night's B international with Belarus. Green was scheduled to have a scan on the groin he ruptured taking a goal kick just minutes after replacing David James.

Green, who was expected to be a target for a number of Premiership clubs this summer, now faces several months on the sidelines, while Norwich face the prospect of having to unload the player for a drastically reduced fee in January if they are not to lose him for nothing when his contract expires next summer.

Green's injury leaves only teenager Joe Lewis as a committed alternative between the sticks. Welsh international Darren Ward is out of contract and out of action, while Paul Gallacher, capped by Scotland, is deciding on his future after a late run of games at the end of the season. Gallacher's contract is also due to expire, but his impressive form as a stand-in for Green prompted speculation that he may stay in East Anglia rather than return north of the border.
