Ivo Pinto joins Norwich's growing injury list ahead of Coventry EFL Cup tie

Ivo Pinto has joined Norwich's growing injury list ahead of their EFL Cup tie against Coventry at Carrow Road.

The Portuguese defender sustained a hamstring tweak during Sunday's 1-1 draw at Ipswich in the East Anglian derby.

Keeper John Ruddy (groin), Martin Olsson (hamstring), Graham Dorrans (groin), Alex Pritchard (side strain) and Matt Jarvis (knee) are also on the sidelines.

The likes of Russell Martin and Sebastien Bassong - both yet to feature this season - as well as Kyle Lafferty and Sergi Canos will be pushing for a starting berth.

Jordan Turnbull is banned for Coventry's trip to Carrow Road after being sent off on his debut on Saturday.

The defender was dismissed in the Sky Blues' 3-1 defeat at Bradford with Tony Mowbray's side still looking for their first league win of the season having beaten Portsmouth in the first round of the EFL Cup.

Chris Stokes and Ivor Lawton remain long-term absentees while Ben Stevenson is a doubt after limping off with an ankle injury on Saturday.

Andy Rose, Jodi Jones, Marvin Sordell and Kwame Thomas all missed the defeat at Valley Parade and remain doubts for Mowbray.
