Emiliano Marcondes makes his first Norwich City start this evening when the Canaries face Preston North End. 

He’s City’s only change from Saturday’s draw with Stoke, replacing the injured Marcelino Nunez in midfield.

Jacob Sorensen returns to the matchday squad for the first time since the opening day of the season, having recovered from a foot injury.

Onel Hernandez misses out after sustaining a hamstring injury in the recent Watford win, and is expected to remain a long-term absentee.

The same is true of Ashley Barnes (Achilles), although head coach Johannes Hoff Thorup offered an optimistic update at his recent press conference. Liam Gibbs (hamstring) and Tony Springett (back) are also out for significant periods of time.

Christian Fassnacht will return to team training next week after an Achilles injury sustained on the opening day at Oxford.

Former Norwich man Robbie Brady starts for the hosts at Deepdale, managed by ex-loanee Paul Heckingbottom.
