Norwich City vs Leeds United - Alex Neil set to shuffle Norwich pack against Leeds
Posted Friday, November 04, 2016 by PA
Norwich boss Alex Neil could make changes to the side for the visit of Leeds following last weekend's 5-0 trashing at Brighton.
Robbie Brady, Steven Naismith and Nelson Oliveira all came off the bench at the Amex Stadium, so could be in contention for a return to the starting XI.
Full-back Ivo Pinto has been out with a groin injury, so will be assessed.
Jonny Howson, the former Leeds midfielder, will be sidelined for around two months following ankle surgery. Defender Steven Whittaker is recovering from a hernia operation while midfielder Youssouf Mulumbu (foot) and winger Matt Jarvis (knee) are both still out.
Leeds head coach Garry Monk is expected to choose his starting line-up from an unchanged squad.
Monk has no new injury or suspension worries as his side bid to extend their unbeaten run to five games in all competitions.
Winger Stuart Dallas is scheduled to return to full training on Monday after a calf injury and skipper Liam Bridcutt remains sidelined due to a fractured bone in his foot.
Right-back Lewie Coyle is out until the new year after damaging medial knee ligaments in the recent EFL Cup penalty shoot-out win against the Canaries.
