Team news

Hugo Lloris will still be missing for Tottenham when they host Norwich in the FA Cup. Lloris missed Sunday's Premier League defeat to Wolves with a groin injury and he will not be fit in time for Wednesday's game.

Spurs still have Harry Kane, Heung-Min Son and Moussa Sissoko out but Ryan Sessegnon (hip) is on the comeback trail and has returned to training with the squad.

Norwich will check on forward Teemu Pukki and midfielder Alexander Tettey, who both missed training through illness this week.

Defender Christoph Zimmermann has again been ruled out by a hamstring tendon problem, while goalkeeper Ralf Fahrmann is absent for personal reasons.

Centre-back Timm Klose continues his recovery from a knee problem as the Switzerland international closes in on a first-team return.

But winger Onel Hernandez (knee) and full-back Sam Byram (hamstring) remain sidelined.
