Anis Ben Slimane will be a gametime decision for Norwich City's fixture against Watford this weekend, according to head coach Johannes Hoff Thorup.
The on-loan midfielder made his debut against Coventry City before picking up a slight injury during the international window.
He missed the defeat at Swansea but is not out of the picture for involvement this weekend against Watford.
"We hoped to have him back on the pitch Monday but that was not the case. It will be a late call but we have to wait and see," Hoff Thorup said.
"We'll have to look at the schedule and see what the best decision is for us.
"It's the same on the other guys, (Jacob Sørensen) Lungi is most likely to be first back. (Ashley) Barnes and Fasi (Christian Fassnacht) are still out a couple of weeks. Tony Springett is a longer one, it will be until Christmas with a back injury."
The Canaries lost first-team coach Narcís Pèlach earlier in the week as he joined Stoke City as their head coach.
He was joined by head of goalkeeping Paul Clements and analyst Harrison Glew.
Academy manager Joe Shulberg and lead player development pathway goalkeeping coach Declan Rudd have joined Hoff Thorup's first-team staff on an interim basis.
"I'm very happy for Narcís, that's a big job for him and the two guys joining him. He's been very open since the start that he had the ambition to be a head coach somewhere so we have had the time to prepare," the Dane said.
"We have had a good relationship with the academy so we had a replacement goalkeeper coach and assistant coach in the group to replace them immediately.
"(Declan) has been around the group since day one. He's around the office, he's supporting Clem. He knows how we work, how we communicate and how we train. And obviously he has a big history with this club.
"It's not about getting it done as quick as possible, we need to find the right replacement. Credit to the two guys, it gives us a situation where we are not under pressure here. We have time to sit and reflect and have more conversations with the candidates.
"Everything in football is a challenge. It depends on how you look at it. We'll have 11 players playing every Saturday with a risk that they can leave. We have quality staff members and players so we always need to have plans in place for other teams coming to take them."
Following the defeat against Swansea City, Hoff Thorup was pleased to have a full week to work towards the fixture against Watford.
One of his concerns from the 1-0 loss was the inability to convert the chances created, and it's something that he says has been a focus of the week.
"Based on performance, we have to look at the stats but also the feeling of what we saw, and how the game developed. We have even more entries in the last third of the pitch but we have to look at whether it was good enough and we can see it wasn't.
"We need some individual quality at the end and that's something we can change. We try to look at our game model and recreate those situations in training. That's the approach that we take.
"It's something we work on together. We have to analyse all the situations we get into and replicate them in training. The chances we create look like each other because of our structure and offensive plan."
Tom Cleverley's Watford have started the season well and sit in fifth with three wins from five games.
The former Manchester United and Everton midfielder is in his first head coaching job having initially started with the Watford Under-18s.
"We have to be aware of their vertical game, they can attack with quick players up front. Physicality is a big way of how they play, they can run at you, we can't open too much space for that," Hoff Thorup explains.
"Pressure, no pressure. We're in the football world to create fantastic moments, especially for a home crowd. The last 20 minutes of the Sheffield game, you could feel that the boys got an extra boost even though they were tired."
