Norwich will be without duo Timm Klose and Moritz Leitner for the East Anglian derby at home to Ipswich on Sunday, live on Sky Sports Football from 11.30am.
Leitner returned to team training this week following nearly two months out with an ankle injury but needs more time to recover, while Klose is expected to return to team training next week.
After picking up an ankle injury in last week's win over Leeds, Tom Trybull will be available to play, along with Alex Tettey who was an unused substitute. Manager Daniel Farke said Todd Cantwell and Ben Godfrey had been struggling but are also expected to be available on Sunday.
Paul Lambert remains hopeful James Collins and Luke Chambers will be available to face Norwich. The duo missed last weekend's loss to Sheffield Wednesday, Collins with a foot injury and Chambers with a hamstring problem.
Jack Lankester (back) and Emyr Huws (knee) remain sidelined while Ben Folami (Achilles) and Grant Ward (cruciate) will not feature this season. Lambert told the club website a few other players had "bumps and bruises" but would be fine to play.
Opta stats
Norwich are unbeaten in their last nine league games against Ipswich (W5 D4), with their last such defeat coming in April 2009 (2-3).
Ipswich last won at Carrow Road in league competition in February 2006 (2-1), failing to win any of their seven trips since (D4 L3).
Only Leeds and Sheffield United (both 30) have won more points on home soil in the Championship this season than Norwich (29). The Canaries have lost only once in their last nine at Carrow Road in the league (W6 D2 L1).
No Championship team has won fewer away points this season than Ipswich (5 - level with Wigan and Rotherham).
Live EFL
Ipswich are winless in nine away league games (D1 L8), losing the last six. They last lost seven in a row back in August 1995 (10).
Norwich striker Teemu Pukki has won 14 points with his goals this season - only Billy Sharp (15) has won more in the Championship.
Prutton's prediction
It is incredible to think that when these two sides met at Carrow Road just under a year ago they were dead level on points in the Championship table and Norwich had to score late on just to nick a draw.
A lot has changed since then and it is looking more and more every week like there will be two divisions separating these big rivals next season. It's tough to see what is happening to Ipswich, but it is hard to see past this being a comfortable home win.
David Prutton predicts: 3-0 (15/2 with Sky Bet)
