Norwich could be left without striker Grant Holt for the season opener at home to Watford as the City skipper faces a dash from a court appearance. Holt is due in court in Shropshire to face motoring charges, and with a 200-mile journey on his hands, Holt could struggle to make the 7.45pm kick-off time. Simeon Jackson could be handed a debut if Holt is absent following his move from Gillingham, as last season`s League One winners look to hit the ground running. Former Rangers left-back Steven Smith will have to wait for his first start as he is still recovering from an ankle injury while fellow defender Zak Whitbread is a doubt after sustaining a problem in a recent friendly. Midfielder Korey Smith could feature after returning from an ankle injury but Owain Tudur Jones is not an option as he is in Plymouth discussing a move to the League One side.
