Ricky van Wolfswinkel starts against Rotherham United — Team News
Neil also said he had not made a renewed bid for Wolverhampton Wanderers forward Benik Afobe, but admitted he was still looking to add another forward player to his squad.
Following his side’s 2-1 second-round win at the New York Stadium, the Norwich boss added: “There won’t be any shedding of light”.
“Every player has got a price, but they have to meet a valuation we think the player is at, not what they think the player is valued at”.
I certainly won’t be giving players to direct rivals. “He might have an issue but I will quickly fix it. Regardless of what happens or what rumours are flying about or what others might say or do, that will have absolutely no bearing on what happens with Lewis Grabban or any player at this club”.
Lewis Grabban has been suspended by Norwich City until next week, HITC Sport understands from sources close to the club.
The Dutch striker, who spent last season on loan at French side St Etienne, bagged his first Canaries goal since his debut over two years ago to make the game safe after Jonny Howson’s classy 23rd-minute opener.
Opposing bosses Evans and Neil have become good pals as they work towards their UEFA Pro Licence coaching qualification together, and there was a warm embrace between the pair at the end.
Undeterred, Rotherham came back and Matt Derbyshire fired over an open goal and saw Rudd tip away a curler before substitute Paul Green volleyed in to hand them a lifeline with nine minutes to go.
Ricky van Wolfswinkel has been recalled to Norwich City’s starting lineup for their Capital One Cup clash with Rotherham United. From the performances so far, we’ve merited more points than we’ve got.
