Norwich v Burnley preview

05 November 2010 11:21
Team news for Norwich's Championship clash with Burnley at Carrow Road on Saturday.[LNB] Norwich will have key duo Grant Holt and Wes Hoolahan available.[LNB]Captain Holt picked up a knock in the 3-1 defeat at Cardiff last weekend but is fine to lead the line for Paul Lambert's side.[LNB]Forward Hoolahan suffered a facial injury in scoring a diving header in Wales but after treatment carried on and is also fit to keep his place as the Canaries look to bounce back.[LNB]Left-back Adam Drury is out with a calf strain which will keep him out for at least a fortnight so former Rangers man Steven Smith should continue in his absence.[LNB]Central defenders Zak Whitbread and Michael Nelson (both ankle) are still sidelined and midfielder Andrew Surman remains a casualty with a knee injury.[LNB]Midfielder Stephen Hughes is making good progress as he recovers from a recent ankle operation but will miss the next few games at least.[LNB]Burnley boss Brian Laws will select from a virtually full-strength squad.[LNB]Several players were laid low by a bug ahead of last Saturday's 1-1 draw at leaders QPR.[LNB]Jack Cork and Andre Bikey were only fit enough to sit on the bench at Loftus Road, while Wade Elliott and Danny Fox battled through to help earn a valuable point.[LNB]Striker Martin Paterson has since been affected but Laws expects the striker to be available to face the Canaries.[LNB]Laws said: "The good thing is that is hasn't affected us any more. In fact what we should have is a clean bill of health."[LNB]Midfielder Chris McCann remains along-term injury absentee but the Clarets have no other concerns.
