Defender Ryan Bennett and midfielder Vadis Odjidja-Ofoe featured for Norwich Under-21's in their 2-0 win over Southampton at Colney on Monday afternoon.

Bennett has not played since sustaining a hamstring injury seven minutes after coming off the bench in the 2-1 victory at Bournemouth in the Sky Bet Championship on January 10.

Odjidja-Ofoe's last first-team appearance came when he made his full league debut in the goalless draw at Sheffield Wednesday on October 25 when he suffered a knee problem.

The Belgian was back on the bench as an unused substitute in Norwich's 4-1 win at Millwall on Saturday - their seventh triumph in eight league outings.

Bennett played for an hour while Odjidja-Ofoe, as well as Tony Andreu, played the full game which saw Jamar Loza hand the Canaries a first-half lead before he teed-up Carlton Morris, who made his senior debut as a substitute in the recent home reverse to Wigan, to add a second.
