These two Norwich City players have just a month left to prove they are worth keeping in January
We’ve taken a look at some Norwich City players who will have to prove their worth to the club before January.
Highlights Norwich City’s summer signings have so far failed to sustain their promotion bid. Sam McCallum has struggled to make his mark at Norwich and could leave in January.
Przemys law Placheta did not meet expectations and could be released in the winter period. Norwich City have had a difficult season so far under David Wagner, who is under considerable pressure but is still at the helm.
Norwich have done some business over the summer in the hope of launching a promotion campaign in 2023/24, but so far they have failed to sustain it.

He’ll have some decisions to make in January if he’s still in charge, but if it’s a new face in the dugout, they could still have the same dilemmas with those players.
Sam McCallum has been at Norwich City since 2020, when he joined Coventry City, and the left-back has struggled to secure a starting place.
McCallum looked a very promising signing upon his arrival from the Sky Blues and was sent out on loan to gain even more experience, returning to his former club twice.
Another absence from Carrow Road followed with Queens Park Rangers in 2021/22, but since his return he has struggled to make the desired impact at his parent club.
His fortunes haven’t improved under Wagner and given he’s been on the fringes of the team this season, there’s a real feeling he could leave in January as they look to cash in before the expiration of his contract this summer.
With less than a month until the winter window opens, McCallum doesn’t have long to prove he’s worth keeping around.
