Norwich manager Glenn Roeder will be without Gary Doherty and Darel Russell for the visit of Sheffield United.
Doherty was recalled to the heart of the Canaries' defence for Tuesday's 2-1 win over Plymouth but misses out with a one-game suspension while Russell is also forced to serve a one-match ban.
That should see regular captain Jason Shackell return at the back after he was relegated to the bench against the Pilgrims while Jimmy Smith is in contention to replace Russell in midfield.
Winger Luke Chadwick will again be missing with his shoulder complaint while on-loan Manchester City youngster Ched Evans should keep his place alongside Jamie Cureton in attack.
The 18-year-old took just 96 seconds of his first senior start to score against the Pilgrims.
Left-back Adam Drury (knee) and reserve goalkeeper Matthew Gilks (ankle) remain long-term casualties as Roeder's side seek a fourth win in five games which could lift them out of the Championship relegation zone.
Sheffield United captain Gary Naysmith is expected to shake off an ankle knock in time.
Naysmith was replaced early in the second half in the midweek home defeat to Stoke, but is hoping to pass a fitness test.
Blades manager Bryan Robson has no other new injury or suspension problems as his side chase only their fourth home league win of the season.
Midfielder Lee Hendrie came through a 90-minute run-out with the reserves unscathed this week following a long spell on the sidelines with thigh and hamstring problems, but is not expected to feature.
Striker Rob Hulse, recovering from a fractured leg, played in the same match and is also closing in on a first-team return.
