Reed and Stiepermann set to pass up a major opportunity for Canaries

Norwich will be without Harrison Reed and Marco Stiepermann for their FA Cup third-round conflict against Chelsea on Saturday.

Reed is enduring with a hip issue while Stiepermann passes up a major opportunity in the wake of grabbing crotch damage following the annihilation against Brentford. Focus back Sean Raggett has come back to Carrow Road following his credit spell with Lincoln however will be inaccessible.

Matt Jarvis and Louis Thompson both remain sidelined. David Luiz is set to play for just the second time since October when Chelsea go to Norfolk.

Luiz is fit again following knee damage and in the wake of losing his place to Andreas Christensen yet is probably going to play as the Blues turn their alternatives.

Charly Musonda could include following crotch damage, yet Eden Hazard is an uncertainty with a thump to his calf managed in Wednesday’s draw at Arsenal.
