Norwich vs Millwall preview
Friday 9 November 2018 13:58, UK
Norwich expect to have defender Timm Klose and midfielder Mario Vrancic available for the Sky Bet Championship match against Millwall.
Klose (ankle) and Vrancic (leg) have both been able to return to training, so should be involved along with midfielder Todd Cantwell, who has been out with a hamstring problem. nOn-loan forward Jordan Rhodes is available again after being ineligible to play in the 4-0 win at parent club Sheffield Wednesday.
Scotland midfielder Kenny McLean (ankle) and captain Grant Hanley (thigh) are both stepping up their recovery, while Louis Thompson (shoulder), forward Carlton Morris (knee) and winger Matt Jarvis (ankle/knee) also remain sidelined.
Millwall midfielder Jed Wallace is pressing for a recall to the starting XI at Carrow Road. nWallace has been carrying a calf problem, but came on as a substitute in last weekend's 2-0 defeat at Brentford and has been back in full training all week.
Lions boss Neil Harris revealed no other fresh injury concerns, so must decide whether to freshen up his team which had won two from the past three games before losing at Griffin Park. Midfielder Ryan Tunnicliffe and defender James Meredith are both options, while veteran forward Steve Morison will be hoping to get the chance to face one of his former clubs.
