Norwich manager Glenn Roeder will be forced into at least one change for Saturday's Championship trip to face struggling Leicester.The Canaries will have to make one change in defence after on-loan defender Matthew Bates returned to Middlesbrough due to a knee injury.

The luckless Bates suffered serious damage to his knee during the midweek draw with fellow play-off hopefuls Hull City.

Roeder could be boosted, though, by the return of Jamie Cureton less than a fortnight after the striker had his appendix removed.

Luke Chadwick and Adam Drury are long-term absentees for Norwich, who are unbeaten in 13 Championship games.

Influential forward Darren Huckerby is again likely to have to settle for a place on the bench.
