Before the team’s Sky Bet Championship match against Preston North End, David Wagner provided the most recent information on player fitness, indicating Josh Sargent might be questionable for the match.
Liam Gibbs had a major quad injury during City’s midweek match against Sheffield Wednesday, and the head coach also declared that “he will be out for the rest of the season.” This week, he will visit a doctor in London to determine whether surgery is necessary.”
“Josh came off after 60 minutes with some quad tightness, so he is a doubt for Saturday as he was not able to train today,” Wagner stated in reference to Sargent’s substitute during the match against Sheffield Wednesday.
“Everyone else looks fine, Jonny Rowe we have to assess day to day.”He will very certainly play at home against Bristol the following week. This week in team training, he took his first steps.Duffy is rejuvenated and prepared for Saturday, thanks to Batth’s outstanding support and backing. “Lungi is not back in team training, so will not be available.”
This Saturday, Norwich travels to eighth-place Preston North End, who are now five points behind the Canaries with one game remaining.
Preston stands out among the British teams in the Championship. They perform at a very high level, are physically direct, and throw in long passes. It says volumes about them that they are a top squad in the play-offs.
“I want us to continue doing what we have done in the past: talk less, work more, and be modest. This is another significant struggle that we have faced in the last few weeks and months.
“We understand our origins. The players’ work since November and the direction they have taken this football team is amazing. We’ll stay where we are by leaving everything on the lawn.”
Wagner commented on Sydney van Hooijdonk, saying: “Big credit to Syd; he does what he can to impress in training. Let’s wait for the time when he can get minutes. “This will arrive; perhaps on Saturday, perhaps the next week.”
