David Wagner has named an unchanged starting line-up for Norwich City's Championship meeting with Stoke City this afternoon.

He retains faith in the side that beat Rotherham United 5-0 at Carrow Road last Saturday, although club captain Grant Hanley is absent from the matchday squad.

Young defender Waylon Renecke comes in for the Scot, who misses out as he tries to build fitness after coming back from long-term injury late last year.

Head coach Wagner is at the Potteries despite missing his pre-match press conference to deal with a family matter.

Dimitris Giannoulis will be out of action until the back end of April with a hamstring injury sustained before that Rotherham win.

Shane Duffy is absent with a muscle injury but is expected to return after the international break, while Onel Hernandez saw his season cut short by a broken foot in training.

Jonathan Rowe will be out until next month with a hamstring injury, leaving only Borja Sainz and Christian Fassnacht as regular first-team wingers.
