Having missed out on the chance to climb into the Championship's top six in midweek, there will be a feeling of disappointment at Norwich City heading into the weekend.
However, the Canaries must keep their heads held high, with David Wagner's side still firmly in the race for a top six spot.
Ahead of their clash with Rotherham United this weekend, below, we've taken a look at some of the latest news surrounding the club.
From a successful red card appeal to a pundit's scoreline prediction, here is the latest Norwich City news.
One of the latest news stories to emerge surrounding the Canaries is regarding attacker Borja Sainz.
Sainz was shown a straight red card during Norwich's midweek clash with Middlesbrough, and was set to miss this weekend's match with Rotherham as a result.
Not only that, but Sainz would have also missed a further three matches, four in total.
However, ahead of the clash, Norwich City appealed the decision, and have been successful in doing so.
The club confirmed this via a statement on Friday: "Norwich City can confirm that the red card shown to Borja Sainz during Wednesday’s Sky Bet Championship game against Middlesbrough has been overturned, following a successful appeal by the club."
It will certainly be interesting to see what impact Sainz can now have in the coming matches.
With the club's clash with Rotherham set to take place this weekend, Norwich City could really do with all three points against the Championship strugglers as they push for a play-off place.
Canaries midfielder Kenny McLean is not taking the Millers lightly, though, offering a brief preview ahead of the match.
"Of course they beat us at their place, and we obviously don't forget that.," McLean told the PinkUn.
"We weren't at it that day, the way we started the game. We set the tempo of that game for them.
"So on Saturday we need to be at it, we need to be on it. The fans will be behind us, we know that. We've been really good at Carrow Road, so that'll continue for us I'm sure.
"They'll always be hard to break down, or normally. Obviously they conceded the goals (in midweek), but that means nothing to us.
"We'll look after ourselves, we'll do what we can do. We will try and control as much of the game as we can, as we have been, I think, and try to take it from there."
Norwich's clash with Rotherham kicks off at 3PM on Saturday.
Speaking of that Rotherham clash, another of the latest news stories surrounding Norwich is regarding the match.
Indeed, EFL pundit David Prutton has issued his scoreline prediction for the game in his Sky Sports predictions column.
With Norwich favourites for the clash, it should be no surprise that Prutton is backing the Canaries to take all three points in this one, predicting a 2-0 win for David Wagner's side.
If that were to come to fruition, it could see the Canaries climb into the top six should results elsewhere go their way.
