Norwich will be without Republic of Ireland striker Adam Idah, who is expected to miss the rest of the season following knee surgery.

Idah, 21, picked up knee and ankle problems during the draw against Crystal Palace. Following initial tests, it was determined an operation was needed.

'He went in for an arthroscopy and then for a meniscus (cartilage) repair, he should be out for the season now,' Dean Smith said.
