Impact Rupp has started just once in the team's last seven contests, so his absence from the squad is unlikely to impact the majority of fantasy players. Even once cleared to play, the midfielder is far from a lock for the starting XI and shouldn't be expected to offer more than low-end fantasy value.

Comes off bench versus Burnley Rupp (undisclosed) logged 21 minutes as a substitute against Burnley on Sunday.

Impact Considering Rupp has started just once in his last four appearances, the midfielder may be hard-pressed to break into the starting XI with any consistency even now that he is fully fit.

Training ahead of Burnley match Rupp (undisclosed) returned to training ahead of Sunday's match against Burnley.

Impact Rupp missed last weekend's match with a minor issue, but it looks like he should be an option against Burnley. He's struggled to find consistent time, partly because of injuries, though there's a chance he gets a few more starts before the season is over, assuming he can remain healthy.

Returns to bench Rupp (hamstring) is on the bench for Friday's clash with Southampton.

Impact Rupp is on the bench as expected after making a full return to training from his hamstring injury. The midfielder will hope to test the hamstring on the pitch with a late cameo. That said it's unlikely he will be rushed back into any major playing time.

Back in training Rupp (hamstring) has been training and could be an option for Friday's trip to Southampton, according to manager Dean Smith.

Impact Rupp has been out since early December because of a hamstring injury, so his return would be a nice boost to the side. That said, he'll likely remain a backup in the midfield with just five starts to his name. He and Jacob Sorensen, who are both returning from injury, will likely take spots on the bench in the near future.

Impact Rupp has already missed the last eight matches due to his hamstring injury and remains on the shelf ahead of Saturday's clash with Liverpool.

Remains out Wednesday Rupp (hamstring) won't be in the match-day squad to face Crystal Palace on Wedneday.

Should return next week Rupp (hamstring) has been back on the grass and is expected to be ready for next week's match against Crystal Palace, according to Dean Smith.

Impact Rupp has been out since Dec. 11 with a hamstring injury, but he's edging closer to a return. The question is where he fits in the squad and despite a couple starts prior to injury, it wouldn't be surprising if he stayed on the bench the majority of the second half, given the overall health of the squad heading out of the winter break.

Still out Rupp (hamstring) will target a return to the pitch on Feb. 5 for the FA Cup clash against Wovlerhampton, Norwich manager Dean Smith said Friday.

Impact Rupp has missed Norwich's last four Premier League games with a hamstring injury, and he will miss at least two more until his target return date in early February. Smith is expecting him to be available either for that Wolves game or the following Premier League clash against Crystal Palace on Feb. 9.

Dealing with hamstring injury Rupp is out with a hamstring injury and doesn't have a timeline to return, according to manager Dean Smith.

Impact It was originally thought that Rupp missed a prior match because of illness, as this is the first mention of injury. It's unclear if he picked up the injury back in December when he started missing time, but either way, he'll be a doubt for the team's upcoming league matches.

Late test for Boxing Day Rupp (illness) is a late test for Sunday's match against Arsenal, according to manager Dean Smith.

Impact It's unclear if Rupp had COVID-19, but he apparently also had an injury, so he's having to return from two things. He's started in two of the last three matches in which he was healthy and if he can get back in the squad Sunday, there's a decent chance he'll be starting in the team's following contest.
