Norwich City suffer double injury blow

Premier League side Norwich City have been dealt a huge injury blow with the news that midfield duo Robert Snodgrass and Anthony Pilkington will miss the festive period due to injuries.

The news comes at a bad time for manager Chris Hughton as he looks to try and save his Norfolk-career after a terrible start to the 2013/2014 campaign and with the busy schedule ahead, injuries to two key-players isn’t the news he would have wanted.

Talking at an AGM for the club, Hughton confirmed the news about the midfield duo.

“Anthony has had a scan which shows a grade two strain which usually means five or six weeks out,” Canaries boss Chris Hughton said at the club’s annual general meeting on Tuesday.

“Robert came back from international duty with Scotland and felt his knee at the beginning of training on Friday.

“He travelled with us to Newcastle as we hoped it would settle down, but unfortunately it didn’t, and he could be out for a few weeks but not as long as Anthony.”

The Canaries already have star-signing Ricky Van Wolfswinkel out until the middle of December, whilst midfield-man Alex Tettey is also likely to miss the next two months as well with an ankle problem.

Hughton’s men are currently 16th in the table after winning one out of their last six games.
