Norwich City Faces Portsmouth: Live Matchday Coverage
Norwich arrive at Carrow Road on a wave of improved form under Philippe Clement. Since the start of 2026, they have collected the most points and conceded the fewest goals in the Championship.
The run has moved them into the top 10. The manager now faces squad decisions ahead of a key home fixture against Portsmouth.
Injury and fitness update
Several players have returned to full training. Oscar Schwartau, Mohamed Toure, Jeffrey Schlupp, Jack Stacey and Ben Chrisene are back in team sessions.
- Ruairi McConville suffered a knee problem on international duty. He is expected to miss the Easter programme while assessments continue.
- Ali Ahmed and Anis Ben Slimane were involved in international duty in Canada early Wednesday.
- Jose Cordoba scored for Panama and returned from South Africa during the week.
- Lucien Mahovo and Harry Amass remain sidelined with muscular complaints.
- Shane Duffy has not played since November.
- Top scorer Jovon Makama is rehabbing a broken foot.
- Ante Crnac and Mirko Topic are out for the season after ACL injuries.
- Matej Jurask is sidelined with a foot injury, and Papa Amadou Diallo is still absent.
Portsmouth situation
Pompey head to Norfolk without a league win since February 21. Recent results have dragged them back toward relegation concern.
Their last outing before the March international break was a 6-1 loss at Loftus Road to QPR. That result highlighted ongoing problems in their squad.
- Manager John Mousinho looks likely to be without midfielder Ebou Adams for the trip.
- Up to nine members of the Portsmouth squad are currently unavailable.
- Ex-Norwich winger Josh Murphy, Andre Dozzell and Conor Shaughnessy are among the injured.
Match significance
Norwich beat Portsmouth 2-1 in August. A win at Carrow Road would complete the league double for the first time since 1996-97.
