Josh Sargent - Unavailable versus Palace Sargent (illness) will miss out against Crystal Palace on Wednesday.

Impact Sargent picked up a pair of goals in his previous contest, his first tallies of the season, but will now have to watch from the sidelines. The forward has been in and out of the starting XI this season, featuring in 12 of his 19 appearances, and figures to remain a fringe starter the rest of the way.

Christoph Zimmermann - In match-day squad Zimmermann (ankle) will be in the squad to face Crystal Palace on Wednesday.

Impact Zimmermann's last outing for the club came back in March of 2021 when he made a seven-minute bench appearance. Even with the central defender cleared to play, he will be hard-pressed to break into the starting XI with consistency, making him a relative non-factor in fantasy contests.

Josh Sargent - Doubt to face Palace Sargent (illness) is considered a doubt for Wednesday's match against Crystal Palace, according to manager Dean Smith.

Impact It's unclear what's going on with Sargent, who was scratched late in Saturday's FA Cup match and now is a doubt a few days later because of illness. It doesn't seem to be COVID-19 if he was set to start Saturday, but either way, he probably won't start Wednesday with Przemyslaw Placheta possibly in line to get another start on the right wing.

Ozan Kabak - Out against Crystal Palace Kabak will remain out for Wednesday's match against Crystal Palace because of illness.

Impact It's likely Kabak tested positive for COVID-19 because you usually don't miss multiple matches with "an illness." Either way, he hasn't started the last four league matches, so this doesn't change much for Norwich, as Ben Gibson and Grant Hanley have been preferred over him.

Fifth Round Draw

FEBRUARY 6, 2022 • YOUTUBE

Billy Gilmour - Vital in FA Cup win Gilmour (ankle) assisted in 79 minutes of Saturday's 1-0 FA Cup win against Wolverhampton.

Impact Gilmour was back from injury and looked like his usual self in the midfield. His return is a massive boost to the midfield for Norwich, though while he took set pieces prior to injury, the recent return of Milot Rashica means Gilmour won't get as many corners when both are in the XI.

Josh Sargent - Late scratch Saturday Sargent was a late scratch for Saturday's FA Cup match because of an illness.

Impact This is an odd reason for a late scratch, as illnesses don't usually come up 30 minutes after initial starting XIs are released. Sargent will have a few days to recover, assuming it's not COVID-19. In his place Saturday, Przemyslaw Placheta moved into the XI on the right wing.

Christoph Zimmermann - Still playing with U23s Zimmermann (ankle) is in the starting XI for Friday's match with the Norwich U23s.

Impact Zimmermann is still working on his fitness, getting another start with the young squad Friday. He should be back with the senior team shortly, though he isn't expected to be a regular. In fact, these minutes with the U23s may be all he sees this season unless injuries come about on the Norwich back line.

Lukas Rupp - Should return next week Rupp (hamstring) has been back on the grass and is expected to be ready for next week's match against Crystal Palace, according to Dean Smith.

Impact Rupp has been out since Dec. 11 with a hamstring injury, but he's edging closer to a return. The question is where he fits in the squad and despite a couple starts prior to injury, it wouldn't be surprising if he stayed on the bench the majority of the second half, given the overall health of the squad heading out of the winter break.

Andrew Omobamidele - Expected back soon Omobamidele (back) is training and should be an option for next week's match against Crystal Palace, according to manager Dean Smith.

Impact Omobamidele has been out since early December with a back issue, but it looks like he's ready to fight for minutes again. Of course, he has just four starts this season and probably won't get much time unless injuries on the back line pile up.

Jakob Lungi Sorensen - Expected back soon Sorensen (knee) "won't be out too much longer," according to manager Dean Smith. "Jacob Sorensen is better than what we thought. It's a medial ligament injury, he's running on the...

Impact Sorensen suffered the injury in the last match before the break and it looks like he should be ready soon. Unfortunately, the return of Mathias Normann and Billy Gilmour likely means a return to the bench for the Dane.

Tim Krul - Still out with shoulder injury Krul (shoulder) remains out and could be out the rest of the month, according to manager Dean Smith. "Tim Krul is still out, he's doing some light handling work at the moment. An o...

Impact Krul suffered the shoulder issue just before the break and it's still bugging him. It's something that could keep him out all month or for another two weeks. Until he's ready to return, Angus Gunn is set to continue in net for the Canaries.

FEBRUARY 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Mathias Normann - Available going forward Normann (pelvis) is training and available for upcoming matches, according to manager Dean Smith.

Impact Normann has been out since November because of a pelvic injury and now the question comes to Dean Smith. Normann and Billy Gilmour, two former starters, are both available again, and Smith will have to figure out his starting XI going forward after coming off back-to-back wins without either of them.

Max Aarons is underappreciated The transfer window closed with Max Aarons still a Norwich player but a lack of suitors is not a reflection of how he is performing

Pierre Lees-Melou - Getting consistent minutes Lees-Melou has gone a full 90 each of the last four league matches, totaling eight shots and three chances created.

Impact Lees-Melou doesn't get up the field a ton and his numbers have been all over no matter where he plays in the formation. He made the score-sheet at Nice a bit more, as he's managed just six shots on goal and 14 chances created in 14 starts at Norwich this season (17 appearances).

Billy Gilmour - Pictured in training Gilmour (ankle) was pictured in training Thursday ahead of this weekend's FA Cup match.

Impact Gilmour has been out about a month with his ankle injury and a return now would line up with the initial timeline. The question is where he fits in the starting XI, as Norwich are coming off back-to-back wins in a 4-4-2 formation. If he's to return to the XI, he'd likely take the spot of Kenny McLean, as Pierre Lees-Melou has gone a full 90 each of the last four matches.
