Norwich V Charlton - view commentary, squad, and statistics of the game live.


Forward duo to be assessed

Norwich pair Josh Murphy and Kyle Lafferty will be monitored ahead of the clash with Charlton at Carrow Road in the Sky Bet Championship.

Winger Murphy, who scored his first league goal in Saturday's 3-1 win at Blackpool, has a heel problem while Lafferty, an unused substitute at Bloomfield Road, did not train on Monday due to sickness.

Belgian midfielder Vadis Odjidja-Ofoe and striker Gary Hooper were not part of the matchday squad for the trip to the seaside but will feature in the Under-21 game at Southampton on Monday night as they look to build up their fitness.

Boss Neil Adams has not ruled either out of contention for the game and will assess the pair when they have returned to Norfolk.

Johann Berg Gudmundsson will be missing for Charlton after suffering a freak injury against Middlesbrough.

The Icelandic winger twisted his ankle after treading on the ball during Saturday's goalless draw which stretched the Addicks' unbeaten run to nine matches.

Franck Moussa came on for Gudmundsson at The Valley and is likely to return to the starting line-up.

Boss Bob Peeters has no other injury worries after striker Igor Vetokele shrugged off an Achilles problem to face Boro, but Chris Solly could be rested to protect his knee with teenager Joe Gomez set to step in at right-back.
