Fer has begun running but is still a few weeks away from returning from his hamstring injury, the club's official web site reports. Manager Chris Hughton said Fer "is coming along very well, he's at a good pace with his running at the moment. We're probably still looking at a couple of weeks but at the moment there have been no setbacks with him, and of course that's good news."

Fer, who has appeared in 26 matches this season, has three goals and one assist, none of which have come in 2014.

Norwich manager Chris Hughton said Fer could be out for "weeks" due to his hamstring injury, the BBC reports. "It will be a matter of weeks. He's a young lad and he's not somebody who has continuously had this type of injury," Hughton said. "We're a bit reluctant to put a timescale on it."

Fer has three goals and one assist this season and will certainly be a blow for a Norwich side desperately trying to get out of the relegation zone.

Fer (hamstring) will be absent from Norwich's trip to Aston Villa this weekend according to Canaries manager Chris Hughton. He will be assessed by City's medical staff and could be missing for a number of weeks The Pink'un reports.

Fer has been a mainstay of the Norwich midfield this season, scoring three goals, but it looks like this hamstring injury could sideline the Dutch midfielder for a number of gameweeks.

Fer was booked twice during Wednesday's 1-1 draw with Norwich City.

Fer has gone without a goal or assist in five straight matches, and his double-booking will result in him missing Norwich's next match.

Fer scored in the 89th minute of Saturday's 2-0 win over West Brom.

The goal was Fer's third of the season, all of which have come in the last five league matches. He hasn't been terribly active in terms of shots but he's been effective with those he takes.

Fer played the whole game in Istanbul as the Netherlands beat Turkey 2-0 on Tuesday, to bring the curtain down on the Dutch squads successful World Cup Qualifying campaign.

Fer has started six Premier League games for Norwich this season, the fourth most of all squad members. He is one of the first names on Chris Hughton's team sheet, but has yet to find the net this season in a notoriously goal shy Canaries attack.

Fer's ban is officially over and he is expected to get his first Premier League start Saturday when Norwich City travel to Hull City, according to the Daily Mail.

Fer has a chance to join a revamped Norwich City attack that is certainly improved from last season. His first match against Hull City gives him a good opportunity to also pick up a clean sheet from the midfield position.
