CITY'S loan players are all available for selection against Charlton in the third round of the FA Cup sponsored by E.ON - a game which will be watched by around 3,000 Canary fans.

Ryan Bertrand, Elliot Omozusi, Arturo Lupoli and OJ Koroma are on season-long loan deals and so were already eligible for Saturday's all-Championship clash at The Valley (3pm).

City can today confirm clearance has been received for Antoine Sibierski from his club Wigan to play for City in the competition.

Midfielder Darel Russell is also in contention for the Cup game following confirmation that his one-match suspension for picking up a fifth yellow card of the season in Saturday's 3-2 defeat by Nottingham Forest will see him sidelined for the game at Sheffield United on January 10.

Meanwhile the Yellow Army will be at The Valley in force, with City's allocation of 2,700 seats now sold out. Around 500 tickets will be available on the day of the match.
