Norwich City vs Preston North End - Ivo Pinto expected to be fit for Norwich against Preston

Norwich should have Ivo Pinto available to face Preston after the defender missed Saturday’s defeat at Sheffield United.

The right-back was ill for the last-gasp 2-1 loss at Bramall Lane and while the Canaries will make a late decision on his fitness he is expected to be fine.

Kenny McLean remains out with knee ligament damage and is not expected to return until after the international break.

Matt Jarvis (ankle and knee) and Carlton Morris (knee) are long-term absentees for the Canaries.

Preston striker Paul Gallagher starts his three-match ban after being handed a retrospective suspension.

The forward accepted a Football Association charge of violent conduct after elbowing Stoke’s Joe Allen in Saturday’s 2-2 draw.

It went unpunished by referee Andrew Madley but the FA have acted and Gallager will miss games against the Canaries, Derby and Leeds.

North End will also be without Calum Woods at Carrow Road with the defender struggling with a hamstring injury.
