Norwich will again be without midfielder Alex Tettey because of a knee problem for Saturday's Premier League clash against Southampton at Carrow Road.
On-loan Sporting Kansas City forward Kei Kamara is pressing for a place in the starting XI after some impressive displays as a substitute.
England goalkeeper John Ruddy continues his rehabilitation from thigh surgery and is set for a return at the end of March, but winger Andrew Surman is not expected to play again this season after a minor operation on his knee.
Southampton will check on the fitness of Adam Lallana and Danny Fox before the trip to Norwich.
The pair were forced off during last Saturday's 2-1 home defeat to QPR with neck and quadriceps complaints respectively.
Luke Shaw was limited to a substitute appearance in that game due to a recent thigh problem, while Vegard Forren will be hoping to make his first-team debut after appearing for the Under-21s against Liverpool on Monday.
