Evans waits on duo
Rotherham boss Steve Evans is sweating on the fitness of Joe Mattock and Richie Smallwood for the Capital One Cup clash with Norwich.
Mattock missed Saturday's 4-2 defeat at QPR with a foot injury and the left-back is rated as 50-50, while Smallwood has a hamstring injury that forced him off at Loftus Road.
Evans has suggested he will make a number of changes, with a potential first start of the season for goalkeeper Adam Collin.
Kirk Broadfoot is half way through his 10-game suspension.
Norwich boss Alex Neil is expected to give his fringe players opportunities in the tie but still wants to field a competitive side.
"Everybody wants a cup run if you can get one; it's one of those ones where you want to get by without any injuries and put in a decent performance," he said.
"It's a one-off competition, and strange things happen in cups.
"You can't go with that attitude and underestimate the opposition. As we saw last year when we went there it's a tough place to go.
"We have to make sure we're ready and well prepared."
Striker Ricky van Wolfswinkel is among those who could be in the squad.
Midfielder Bradley Johnson, strikers Lewis Grabban and Gary Hooper could also be involved, while defender Martin Olsson (shoulder) and forward Kyle Lafferty (knee) may be in line for their returns.
