Sam Byram - Goes full 90 in loss Byram created one chance, conceded a yellow card and made two blocks during Tuesday's 3-0 loss to Crystal Palace.

Impact Byram started for the first time this season after recently returning from a hamstring injury during the Dec. 14 loss to Aston Villa. While taking a regular place in the lineup from Max Aarons could be difficult long-term, Byram does have an opportunity at the moment due to the absence of Aarons in Tuesday's game. Up next is Saturday's trip to Leicester City.

Billy Gilmour - Makes six tackles in loss Gilmour logged six tackles (four won) and provided five crosses (two accurate) during Tuesday's 3-0 win over Crystal Palace.

Impact Gilmour has been one of the few consistent parts of a struggling team and he continued that with his 14th tackle from the last three matches to go along with 10 corners taken in that time. Without much offensive help but plenty of defensive work to do, Gilmour still doesn't offer much value outside of the right circumstances.

Przemyslaw Placheta - Takes three shots in loss Placheta took three shots (two on goal) and created one chance from five crosses (one accurate) during Tuesday's 3-0 loss to Crystal Palace.

Impact Placheta continues to put up decent numbers but they haven't been enough to turn around a five-match goalless drought for the Canaries. Among a struggling roster, Placheta could be one alternative option against a Leicester City side that's conceded the fourth-most goals in the EPL.

Adam Idah - Starts in loss Idah created one chance during Tuesday's 3-0 loss to Crystal Palace.

Impact Idah started over Teemu Pukki for the first time this season but it didn't make a difference in the Canaries' streak of five straight scoreless matches. This move was likely due to the short turnaround time between Tuesday's match and the Boxing Day loss to Arsenal, though both Idah and Pukki need to offer more in Saturday's trip to Leicester City.

Dimitris Giannoulis - Injured against Palace Giannoulis was forced off at the break of Tuesday's match against Crystal Palace with an undisclosed injury.

Impact Giannoulis was getting his first start in a couple matches Tuesday and then couldn't make it more than 45 minutes. He remains the backup to Brandon Williams and injuries aren't likely to help playing time in the second half of the season.

DECEMBER 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Todd Cantwell - Out Tuesday Cantwell is not in the squad for Tuesday's match against Crystal Palace because of "injury or illness."

Impact Cantwell misses out Tuesday after staying on the bench in the prior contests. He's gotten more time under Dean Smith, but he's struggled to show his quality and now he's out for an undisclosed reason, which could possibly mean COVID-19.

DECEMBER 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Teemu Pukki - Not in squad Tuesday Pukki is not in the squad for Tuesday's match against Crystal Palace because of "injury or illness."

Impact Pukki is one of a few players to miss Tuesday's match with an undisclosed issue. The hope is that it's not COVID-19 or he'll also miss the team's next match later in the week. Adam Idah is getting a start up front in the trip to Crystal Palace.

DECEMBER 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Max Aarons - Out against Palace Aarons is not in the team for Tuesday's match against Crystal Palace because of "injury or illness."

Impact Aarons had gone a full 90 in every match this season until Tuesday, so this won't help Norwich's back line. Seldom used Sam Byram is starting at right-back instead with the hope for Aarons being that this is only a minor issue and he can return later in the week.

DECEMBER 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Angus Gunn - Concedes five in first start Gunn conceded five goals and made one save during Sunday's 5-0 loss to Arsenal.

Impact Gunn was handed his first start on Boxing Day following Tim Krul's positive COVID-19 result. It can't be considered an ideal debut, but Gunn has often found himself in tough situations when starting at the Premier League level. He's likely to get another start Tuesday at Crystal Palace, which will be without the suspended Wilfried Zaha.

DECEMBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Przemyslaw Placheta - Takes two shots in loss Placheta put two shots on target in 75 minutes of Sunday's 5-0 loss to Arsenal.

Impact Placheta has started three straight games, logged 15 total crosses but has never played more than 75 minutes in any of these matches. As he's logged more shots on target than Teemu Pukki in this time, Placheta could show some value if he continues to earn minutes and show moderate productivity. Up next is a visit to Crystal Palace.

DECEMBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Billy Gilmour - Creates two chances in loss Gilmour created two chances from three crosses (one accurate) and logged four tackles (one won) during Sunday's 5-0 loss to Arsenal.

Impact Gilmour seems to be doing fine after playing through a recent match with a high fever, though that's not saying much when neither he nor his teammates have found the net in four December matches. With five chances created, 10 crosses provided and eight tackles made in his last two starts, Gilmour will now focus on a trip to Crystal Palace, which have conceded 27 goals in 18 matches this season.

DECEMBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Teemu Pukki - Creates one chance in loss Pukki created one chance and failed to take a shot during Sunday's 5-0 loss to Arsenal.

Impact Following Sunday's loss, Pukki has failed to score a single goal in four December matches, with his side going scoreless as a team in that time. As he did score three times in four games during November, it's possible that he'll reverse this drought at some point. Up next is a trip to Crystal Palace, which are tied for the fourth-most goals conceded to forwards in the league.

DECEMBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Josh Sargent - Logs 72 minutes in loss Sargent played for 72 minutes of Sunday's 5-0 loss to Arsenal.

Impact Sargent returned on Boxing Day from his one-game absence due to COVID-19 but wasn't able to make much of an impact. He has yet to score since joining Norwich this season and has recorded just one shot on goal in 16 league matches for the club. Up next is a trip to Crystal Palace, which are tied for the fourth-most goals conceded to forwards in the Premier League.
