Norwich City has a group of players away on loan, and the extended international break has provided an opportunity to assess their progress away from Carrow Road.
Jurasek's Journey at Sparta Prague
Few loans have started in more difficult fashion than Jurasek's switch across Prague, which led to fan unrest and unsavoury scenes on debut. However, things have settled since his return to Sparta in August after a controversial move.
The winger has made eight competitive appearances, with only one being a start, accumulating 257 minutes. He scored during a Czech Cup outing against Zizkov and registered an assist from the bench against Ararat-Armenia in Europe.
Sparta boss Brian Priske praised Jurasek's character, describing his debut cameo as very good. Jurasek has spoken about developing physically during his time in England, and the next step is establishing himself as a regular starter.
Mixed Fortunes for Norwich's Loan Players
Jakov Medic has had a slow start to life on loan at Utrecht, making three Eredivisie appearances, all from the bench, totaling around 56 minutes. He entered with Utrecht 3-0 down against Go Ahead Eagles and has yet to displace Utrecht's established defensive options.
Amankwah Forson has been more productive in Israel, playing 204 minutes across four appearances, starting twice. He has completed 87.5 percent of his passes and contributed defensively, although he has yet to score or assist.
Louie Moulden is enjoying his time at Accrington, having established himself as the number one goalkeeper. He has featured in every minute of their opening eight League Two fixtures, making 26 saves and keeping one clean sheet.
Meanwhile, Ken Aboh has found form on loan in the National League, scoring four times in his opening five starts. His early output suggests tangible progress after previous struggles.
