"Hughes out until February"

[AJ 1,191]

Norwich City captain Andy Hughes will be sidelined for at least six weeks with a fractured cheekbone.

The 27-year-old midfielder sustained the injury during the Canaries'' 3-1 win over Southampton on Saturday.

Hughes has had a metal plate inserted in the damaged cheek following surgery, and spent Monday night in hospital.

Norwich''s midfield options are already limited as Youssef Safri could be away with Morocco in the African Nations Cup for over a month from January onwards.

My bin-man told me that his doctor told him that he''d overheard an argument in the changing room before the game and McKenzie did it!  The tackle was just a ruse!
