Todays injury news- Pukki still injured, Mclean COVID

[cambridgeshire canary 7,799]

Teemu Pukki and Christoph Zimmermann are unavailable. They'll hopefully be back for Middlesbrough.

Kenny McLean has tested positive, he will have to self-isolate for now. He showed some symptons last night and he will miss the game.

 Bali Mumba returned after isolation yesterday. He's not in his full rhythm yet. 

Adam Idah is finished his last days in rehab. We expect him back in full training next week

. Xavi Quintilla is improved and will return to the group next week.

Looks like we could have a completely unchanged back 4 then for tomorrow's game!

[Robornio 131]

This is outrageous. Who the hell is spreading this in the club? If it’s from other players we play against, then why aren’t the EFL enforcing better testing before games? Get well soon Kenny.

We are just behind the curve compared to other clubs. I'm sure there will be others yet.

Back four unlikely to be unchanged IMO we will see GK (Barden), LB (Gianopoulis) plus DM (Soerenson) and N10 (Dowell)

New LB can’t play yet I believe? So Sorensen still only option at LB

[Surfer 1,547]

If true, that’s unfortunate.

Do we have a lot of “ fragile “ players ? Rump seems to be constantly injured, Vrancic looks knackered after 60 minutes

Doubt we’ll see Giannoulis, Surfer. No mention that a work permit has been granted yet. And until that’s done then he won’t be involved, hence why at this moment in time we’ve not even seen him holding the club scarf above his head yet.

He’s had a bum rap to be fair. 

[TIL 1010 5,246]

The Christoph injury seems to be turning into a lengthy affair.

[Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 4,622]

The official site says that Pukki and Zimmermann are missing for tomorrow and 'the latter could return' for Middlesbrough. 

That's the one that is concerning me.

Farke said in the press conference that Krul will play tomorrow.

That's a change of mind, because I'm sure that he said Barden is our Cup keeper only last week

I think I saw Michael Bailey describe that comment as 'joking' from Farke.

Good news that all the backroom staff are better and negative now, shame about Kenny, hope he feels better soon.

Wonder if the  starting 11 will be anything like

Krul - Mumba - Hanley - Gibson - Xavi -  Sorrenson - Rupp - Hernandez - Dowell - Placheta - Hugill

Quintilla still out with Covid.

Not true - Mumba an option there for tomorrow. Not saying he will play there, but he's an option.

Farke confirmed on Mumba above 'he's not into full rhythm yet', sounds like he probably won't feature?

Outrageous is a rather unfortunate choice of words at the moment. It's now an extremely contagious virus that is having a more negative effect on young people than before. I think we should be grateful that we are getting football at the moment and be even more grateful that footballers are putting their careers at stake. As has been shown at other clubs, once it gets into a close knit environment it's difficult to get rid of, whatever the level of testing.

Yeah - or maybe a substitute appearance. Anyway, it's written in The Bible that however many theoretical options Norwich have available at left back it will in fact be Jacob Sorensen who plays there. 😉

He's catching from where most people catch it - the local supermarket as they're the only places left open!  Home deliveries only for everybody its the only way.
