Oliver Norwood - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Falls out of favor Norwood has only earned the start in four of the past 13 matches he has been an option for.

Impact Norwood appears to have fallen out of favor recently, as he has seen a severe drop in minutes after beginning the season as a regular starter, now only having seen 342 minutes of play over his club's past 14 contests. This is a brutal turn for the midfielder, as he has been a starter in their previous four seasons, but after having one goal contribution in his first 13 appearances this campaign, he was dropped to the bench. He should still be expected to see a few minutes off the bench when fit but appears to be stuck in a rotational role for the time being.

Up next for him is Tuesday's home clash against Luton Town.

Impact Norwood was his side's lone player able to have substantial contributions on the attacking end, always trying to carry the Blades forward but never finding competent partners to help him with the task.
