Impact Despite dealing with an injury, McLean gets the call Saturday in another tough matchup. It's unlikely he'll go a full 90, especially with Billy Gilmour on the bench, among others.

Kenny McLean - Starting against Arsenal McLean (knee) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Arsenal.
Josh Sargent - Dealing with hamstring injury Sargent is dealing with some hamstring problems and is doubtful for Saturday's trip to Arsenal, according to manager Daniel Farke. "He reported a bit of jet-lag and then there is n...
Impact Sargent returned to the side a day ago and it doesn't seem like he'll be ready to compete Saturday. Given the travel and jet lag, there's no surprise he won't be pushed into the side after playing 43 minutes the first three matches.

Kenny McLean - Training ahead of Arsenal trip McLean (knee) is training ahead of Saturday's match against Arsenal after withdrawing from the Scotland national team, according to Daniel Farke.
Impact McLean appears to be good to go Saturday, though he's managed just one start in the early season, a full 90 in the loss to Leicester. Given what has happened over the break, it wouldn't be surprising if he was moved to the bench against Arsenal.
SEPTEMBER 10, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Dimitris Giannoulis - Dealing with back problems Giannoulis has neck and back problems and will miss Saturday's trip to Arsenal, according to manager Daniel Farke.
Impact It's an unfortunate injury for Giannoulis, who lost his spot in the starting XI last match. The hope is that he can get back to health soon and again contend with Brandon Williams for starts at left-back.
SEPTEMBER 10, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Christoph Zimmermann - Out with ankle injury Zimmermann will miss Saturday's trip to Arsenal because of an ankle injury, according to manager Daniel Farke.
Impact Zimmermann picked up an ankle injury over the break and it will force him out of the squad for at least one match. Of course, he doesn't have much of a role with the team this season and is far down the depth chart for center-backs.
SEPTEMBER 10, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Christos Tzolis - Back from calf issue Tzolis made the bench for Greece's World Cup friendly on Wednesday, returning from a calf injury.
Impact Tzolis had a minor calf issue before the break and it looks like he's recovered from it, at least enough to make his national team's squad. Assuming all is well, he should be an option for Saturday's trip to Arsenal and could be set for his league debut.
SEPTEMBER 8, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Kenny McLean - One start so far McLean has made one start through three games for Norwich so far this season.
Impact McLean drew the start for Norwich in their final game before the international break, playing all 90 minutes. The midfielder is likely to play in a similar role moving forward.
SEPTEMBER 2, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Billy Gilmour - Starts in all three games Gilmour has started all three games for Norwich so far this season.
Impact Gilmour has played 259 of a possible 270 minutes since joining from Chelsea on loan in the Summer. The midfielder should continue to start for a struggling Norwich side for the majority of the year.
SEPTEMBER 2, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Ben Gibson - Starts in all three games Gibson has started all three games for Norwich so far this season.
Impact Gibson has been locked into a starting role playing every minute of all three games. The defender leads Norwich with 24 clearances to open the season.

Ozan Kabak - Loaned to Norwich Kabak has signed a season-long loan with Norwich City from Schalke.
Impact Kabak gives Norwich yet another option on the back line after he started nine matches on loan with Liverpool last season. He's an experienced defender, but it's unclear who he will take minutes from on the Norwich back line, as Ben Gibson and Grant Hanley have been the guys to open the campaign.
AUGUST 30, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Mathias Normann - Loaned to Norwich Normann has joined Norwich City on a season-long loan from FC Rostov, the club announced Sunday.
Impact Normann made 17 appearances in all competitions for Russian side Rostov last season, and the 26-year-old now joins Norwich, having already spent some time in England with Brighton's u23 team a few years ago. Normann will add depth and cover in defensive midfield this season.
AUGUST 29, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Milot Rashica - Attempts 13 crosses, seven corners Rashica recorded 13 corners (two accurate) and seven corners during a 2-1 loss Saturday versus Leicester City.
Impact Despite not recording any assists, Rashica was serviceable during August. He averaged seven crosses and 2.7 corners across three games. Considering those were against the Premier League's top-five teams, fantasy owners should not be discouraged yet.
AUGUST 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Tim Krul - Concedes two goals Krul recorded one save but conceded two goals during a 2-1 loss Saturday versus Leicester City.
Impact Krul conceded more goals than he recorded saves during his last two appearances. However, the goalkeeper received those misfortunes against top-five Premier League teams. Krul has an excuse this month but will not have such lenience during September.
AUGUST 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Max Aarons - Creates three chances Aarons created three chances and recorded two crosses (both accurate) during a 2-1 loss Saturday versus Leicester City.
Impact Aarons was the Norwich City team's only footballer with multiple chances created. He will have many opportunities to log good value while being its primary right-back. Aarons created 61 chances, recorded 39 interceptions and won 19 tackles during the EFL Championship one season ago. He is Norwich City's most promising defender.
AUGUST 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Teemu Pukki - Scores goal vs. Leicester City Pukki scored one goal with two shots (both on goal) during a 2-1 loss Saturday versus Leicester City.
Impact Pukki scored a penalty kick to record his first goal this month. Even with trouble scoring during open play, he remains one of the Norwich City team's promising fantasy options. Team manager Daniel Farke will have Pukki attempt nearly all its penalty kicks.

Josh Sargent - Makes bench against Leicester Sargent (glute) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Leicester.
Impact Sargent is well enough to make the bench Saturday and there's a chance he'll make another appearance. He's not expected to be a regular in the XI this season unless he can find some form off the bench after starting 30 matches at Werder Bremen last campaign.
AUGUST 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Josh Sargent - Late test Saturday Sargent is battling some glute problems after starting midweek and is a late test for Saturday's match against Leicester City, according to manager Daniel Farke.
Impact Sargent came off the bench in each of the first two matches this season and while he played well in the League Cup, he picked up a muscle problem in the process. Fortunately, it doesn't sound serious and there's still a chance he'll be a bench option Saturday.
AUGUST 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Christos Tzolis - Battling calf issue Tzolis is battling calf problems and is a late test for Saturday's match against Leicester City, according to manager Daniel Farke.
Impact This doesn't seem serious, but even if healthy, Tzolis probably wouldn't have a major role in the squad Saturday. He was the Man of the Match midweek and will likely find playing time in league play as the season moves along, but it won't be easy replacing guys like Milot Rashica and Todd Cantwell up front.
