The two Norwich City legends are holding a celebration match between two teams at Carrow Road on Monday, May 6, the day after the EFL season finishes.

Although the testimonial takes place before the League One and Championship play-offs, both players have been cleared to play in the game billed by the Canaries as Team Wes v Team Russ by Dean Keates and Darren Moore.

"They’re both fine with it,” Martin told Along Come Norwich. “They know how important this is to us, so we’ll be back whatever happens.”

Hoolahan's Baggies contract is up in January, but there is an option to extend it. Martin's Saddlers contract runs until the end of the season.
