Norwich City face Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough this weekend.
Norwich City travel to Hillsborough to take on Sheffield Wednesday this weekend up against it as several first-team players have been ruled out of action.
The Canaries head into the fixture having won their past three league games – a run which has consolidated their place in the Championship playoffs as they target a potential promotion challenge.
But Wednesday have often posed them problems at Hillsborough, and Daniel Farke’s side will be looking to avoid a repeat of their last trip there as the Owls ran out 5-1 winners at the end of last season.
Norwich are no doubt in better shape this time around, though several players who have been crucial in their surge up the table this season aren’t expected to make an appearance this weekend.
On-loan striker Jordan Rhodes is ineligible to face his parent club, while Finland international and Norwich’s leading scorer Teemu Pukki is still sidelined having picked up an injury on international duty.
Farke has told reporters that academy product and first-team regular Todd Cantwell will miss the trip through injury, while Jamal Lewis will face a late test with problems over his hamstring (Eastern Daily Press).
If Lewis misses out, Farke could opt for the versatile fellow academy graduate Ben Godfrey to fill in at left-back.
Louis Thompson, Grant Hanley and Kenny McLean are all side-lined with injury, while last season’s skipper Ivo Pinto is also out after suffering an injury in the midweek Carabao Cup defeat at Bournemouth.
This is how we expect Norwich to lineup when they face Sheffield Wednesday:
