Grant Holt is winning his race to be fit for the start of Norwich City's Championship season. The Canaries leading scorer has been sidelined with a thigh injury and has missed the three pre-season away games - at Stevenage, Dagenham & Redbridge and last night's goalless draw at Lincoln City.
SLIDESHOW: Lincoln City manager Chris Sutton believes Norwich City fans should keep their expectations in check ahead of their Championship return. The Canaries' runaway success in League One last season, followed by a successful summer of player recruiting and Saturday's friendly victory over Premier League new boys Newcastle United have all added to the growing optimism over City's chances next season.
