Am I reading that right, its a 3pm kick off on a Tuesday? Or is google playing tricks on me as I'm on African time??
Anyhoo, a tougher prospect than Blackpool. Anyone close to coming back from injury? Looks like we can all stop waiting, with baited breath, for the return of Hayden...

Think it's 8pm ko. Google can't tell the difference between time zones.

Dimitris Giannoulis is back on the grass but not training with the first team yet. Isaac Hayden back running after a cooling off period. Todd Cantwell planning to train today.

Oh, Hayden is still here then?

Any idea why?

Key squad news .....

Dean Smith indicated no fresh injury or fitness concerns from those on duty at Blackpool.

Grant Hanley had 'a couple of stitches' in a wound.

Todd Cantwell (quad) due to train later on Monday. Sat out the Blackpool win after feeling the issue on Thursday in a set piece session. Smith indicated it was a precautionary measure ahead of a hectic schedule.

Isaac Hayden (knee) now back running after being held back for 10 days. Smith revealed last Thursday parent club Newcastle United flagged up an 'effusion' (swelling) after a check up with the player. Hayden was back running on the grass prior to the international period but did not take part in a planned practice game. Ruled out since pre-season after a minor op to 'clean out' a knee issue.

Dimi Giannoulis (ankle ligaments) targeting a return in mid-October. Injured in the opening Championship home draw against Wigan.

Adam Idah (knee) ruled out for a 'number of weeks' after operation Smith labelled 'exploratory' earlier this month. Previously had some fluid taken out of his knee earlier this season, after a knee problem curtailed his Premier League season in February.

Jonathan Rowe (shin). Stress-related injury. Still training inside. Smith originally indicated will be a 'number of games' he misses. But would not put a specific timescale on it.

Jacob Sorensen (foot) stress fracture. Smith reported last Thursday he is still in a protective boot. Injured in the second half of Norwich City's Championship defeat at Hull City in August.

Sam McCallum (foot) out until after the World Cup (December). Had surgery on a metatarsal injury August 11.

We are really lucky having Hayden and Idah to call Norwich players.
Morty, have you been biting puppies heads off again, or are you just throwing the toys back into the pram that some have tossed out?

 

[morty]

Haha Gerry, you have read that pinkun thread then? It's cute that they all miss me so much, and drop in here to see what I am up to!

 

[Gunvald Larsson]

1-1 away to a promotion rival. Not too bad.
