Billy Gilmour is not part of Norwich City's squad for Sunday's Premier League home game against Burnley - due to illness.

Dean Smith confirmed on Friday at his pre-match press call there was illness in the camp, and the Scottish international is not part of the matchday squad.

Gilmour missed Scotland's knock out game at the Euros last summer after being diagnosed with Covid-19, which also held up his season long loan move from Chelsea.

Brandon Williams (ankle), Max Aarons (hamstring) and Lukas Rupp (hamstring) return to the Norwich bench.

Josh Sargent (ankle) and Przemyslaw Placheta (ankle) are not involved. Ozan Kabak (hamstring) has been ruled out for the rest of the season.

Adam Idah (knee) and Andrew Omobamidele (back) remain long-term absentees.

Burnley captain Ben Mee (fibula) and fellow defender Erik Pieters (knee) are sidelined.
