Worthington includes fledgling Canaries
Nigel Worthington will include youngsters Rossi Jarvis, Adam Smith and Danny Crow in his injury-ravaged squad for the trip to Middlesbrough.
Norwich lost Simon Charlton (dead leg), Youssef Safri (ankle) and Mattias Jonson (concussion) during the 2-0 home defeat by Tottenham on St Stephen's Day.
The Canaries were already without Gary Holt (lung infection), Mathias Svensson (knee), Ian Henderson (heel), while Damien Francis is not yet ready to return from his fractured cheekbone.
Phil Mulryne is expected to start in midfield after replacing Safri at half-time against Spurs, while winger Paul McVeigh and full-back Adam Drury are also both likely to come back in.
Second-choice goalkeeper Darren Ward (knee) is out as well, so Paul Gallacher has been recalled from his loan spell with Gillingham and will travel to Teesside.
Provisional squad: Green, Edworthy, Doherty, Fleming, Drury, McVeigh, Helveg, Mulryne, Bentley, McKenzie, Huckerby, Brennan, Shackell, Gallacher, Ryan Jarvis, Rossi Jarvis, Smith, Crow, Lewis.
