Adam Idah - Out rest of season Idah will miss the rest of the season after suffering a knee injury two matches ago, according to manager Dean Smith. "He went in for an arthroscopy and then for a meniscus repair,...

Impact It's a tough injury for Idah, who had strung together a nice set of matches, starting five straight for Norwich after barely playing earlier in the season. Josh Sargent returned to the XI in his place and Idah will hope for more opportunities in the Premier League next season if they can stay up. Also from Smith, "It was in the game when he did it. He planted his foot and hurt his ankle and knee but played on. He felt a bit stiff on the following two days, and reported it to the medical staff."

Grant Hanley - Busy at both ends Hanley took two off target shots, made three tackles (winning all three) and nine clearances during Saturday's 4-0 loss to Manchester City.

Impact Hanley was part of the Norwich back line that conceded four goals on Saturday. The defender finished with team-high totals in shots, tackles and clearances in the loss.

Angus Gunn - Concedes four to City Gunn allowed four goals while making five saves during Saturday's 4-0 loss to Manchester City.

Impact Gunn allowed a goal in the first half and three in the second as Norwich were swept aside by City on Saturday. The keeper has now allowed 13 goals in five league starts while his five saves upped his season total to 16.

FEBRUARY 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Teemu Pukki - Quiet against City Pukki took one shot (on goal) during Saturday's 4-0 loss to Manchester City.

Impact Pukki was held off the scoresheet but wasn't alone as Norwich were shut out on Saturday. The forward didn't cross or create a chance while his lone shot tied for the second most on the team in the loss.

FEBRUARY 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Josh Sargent - Starting against Man City Sargent (illness) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Manchester City.

Impact Sargent is back in the starting XI Saturday, which sees Norwich return to a 4-3-3 formation. Of course, it's a tough test against Man City and Sargent is unlikely to get many opportunities outside of maybe a chance or two from counter attacks.

Andrew Omobamidele - Suffers setback in recovery Omobamidele (back) had a setback in his recovery and won't be available versus Manchester City on Saturday. Manager Dean Smith told reporters, "Andrew has suffered a setback with h...

Impact After missing the previous eight matches, it appeared as though Omobamidele was nearing a return to the pitch but unfortunately will miss out for the ninth consecutive contest. Even prior to suffering his back injury, the central defender was an unused substitute in nine of the team's last 13 contests and is unlikely to push for a regular spot in the starting XI even once given the all-clear.

FEBRUARY 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Ozan Kabak - Still shelved Saturday Kabak (illness) will not be an option against Manchester City on Saturday. Manager Dean Smith told reporters, "Ozan isn't back in training."

Impact At this point, Kabak should probably be considered doubtful as well ahead of a Feb. 19 matchup with Liverpool given he hasn't begun training. Even prior to his absence, the defense was an unused substitute in four straight contests and is far from a lock for the starting XI even once deemed fully fit.

FEBRUARY 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Josh Sargent - Set to return Saturday Sargent (illness) will be available for selection against Manchester City on Saturday.

Impact On the year, Sargent has featured in 12 of his 19 appearances for the club, in which he has recorded two goals on 18 shots (three on target), nine crosses (zero accurate) and 19 tackles (11 won). Even if he does start, Sargent will be hard-pressed to offer more than mid-range fantasy value going up against Manchester City.

Ben Gibson - Makes nine clearances in draw Gibson made nine clearances, one interception and one block during Saturday's 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace.

Impact Gibson was an imposing presence at the heart of the defense, leading all players in clearances and stepping up when the opposition put a lot of pressure in search of a game-winning goal during the last half hour. With 14 clearances and three blocks over the last two contests, the centre back will need to be at his best during Saturday's clash against league leaders Man City.

FEBRUARY 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Milot Rashica - Sends in seven crosses in draw Rashica had one off-target shot, created two chances and sent in seven crosses during Wednesday's 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace.

Impact Rashica was one of the best men on the pitch here. The winger initiated the play that resulted in Teemu Pukki's opening goal with an amazing run from the left flank and then was responsible for most of his side's dangerous actions throughout the match. He's still to score this season, but has been making up for that with a ton of playmaking, which will make him a much needed piece during next Saturday's clash against league leaders Man City.

FEBRUARY 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Angus Gunn - Makes four saves in draw Gunn made four saves and conceded one goal during Wednesday's 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace.

Impact Gunn was beaten by Wilfried Zaha's stunning long-rang strike at the hour mark, but was still one of the biggest reasons why his side was able to escape with at least a point, making some huge saves down the strech. With Tim Krul still (should)) sidelined for the upcoming weeks, Gunn will have the tough mission to try to stop league leaders Man City on Saturday.

FEBRUARY 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Adam Idah - Provides assist in draw Idah made an assist, had two off-target shots and created one chance during Wednesday's 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace.

Impact Idah made a huge contribution with just 40 seconds into the match, assisting Teemu Pukki's opening goal. But the forward wasn't involved in any dangerous action afterwards, which ultimately led him to be subbed off. Up next for Idah is Saturday's home clash against Man City.

FEBRUARY 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Teemu Pukki - Scores in draw against Palace Pukki scored a goal off two shots (one on target) during Wednesday's 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace.

Impact Pukki needed only 40 seconds to open the scoring for Norwich and put to an end a seven-game scoreless streak, but couldn't produce much afterwards. Anyway, whoever picked him for fantast teams can't complain after one goal and one assist over the last two contests. He'll have a more complicated misson on Saturday, when his side hosts league leaders Man City.

Lukas Rupp - Remains out Wednesday Rupp (hamstring) won't be in the match-day squad to face Crystal Palace on Wedneday.

Impact Rupp was originally expected to be in the squad for Wednesday's matchup but it appears he won't be ready in time. The midfielder's next opportunity to get back onto the pitch will come versus Manchester City on Saturday.
