NEIL HARRIS:
Kieffer Moore, Morrison, Osei-Tutu, Cunningham, any available?
Jordi played 40 minutes for the 23s and didn’t quite get to the half-time we aimed for. We have got to see how he goes, an initial precaution on the back of that hamstring injury, in the next 48 hours.
Kieffer is back on the training pitch which is good news. We are hopeful he will be available for some part of the game.
Greg Cunningham has been back in the training ground, but maybe not in the group at the moment.
Sean Morrison, getting closer at the time, and we have been really lucky with him, but Saturday is probably too soon for him.
Harris
TEAM NEWS:
Jordi Osei-Tutu played in under 23's on Monday for 39 mins.
Sean Morrison and Aden Flint are all out of contention for this weekend
It is understood Sean Morrsion's ankle injury will keep him out of action this weekend, with the hope being he can return for QPR later this month on January 20 at best.
Aden flint got injured playing for Sheff Wednesday in the middle of December and has returned to Cardiff where he has undergone an operation.
The Bluebirds will be without captain Sean Morrison with an ankle injury.
Key trio Kieffer Moore (hamstring) and Lee Tomlin (groin) are also missing.
Sadly Sol Bamba is seriously ill.
Isaac Vassell is the long-term absentee.
About Norwich City
Norwich City Football Club (also known as The Canaries or City) is an English professional football club based in Norwich, Norfolk, that competes in the Championship, the second division of English football. The club was founded in 1902. Since 1935, Norwich have played their home games at Carrow Road and have a long-standing and fierce rivalry with East Anglian rivals Ipswich Town, with whom they have contested the East Anglian derby 134 times since 1902. The fans' song "On the Ball, City" is the oldest football chant in the world, written in 1890 and still sung today.
Norwich have won the League Cup twice, in 1962 and 1985. The club's highest ever league finish came in 1992–93 when they finished third in the Premier League.
The club participates in characteristic yellow and green kits and are nicknamed The Canaries after the history of breeding the birds in the area (said to be introduced around the 16th century by a group of European immigrant weavers in the area known as "The Strangers").
