Only three minutes were spent on the field at Hillsborough by the midfielder, who came on for Josh Sargent on minute 61. He made a brief run up the pitch before going down and needing medical attention.
Gibbs was clearly disappointed by the setback and headed straight into the tunnel. This is only the most recent setback for the young player, who has had a hit or miss season with the Canaries following his breakout season the previous one.
Gibbs’ injury appeared to be serious, according to David Wagner, and more testing was scheduled before Saturday’s trip to Preston North End. Concerns regarding defender Shane Duffy will also exist. Wagner stated, “It’s his quad,” regarding Gibbs. “There is a wound. Without a doubt (we’ll need to scan it). If you come on and are unable to continue, I believe you have a more serious quad injury. We must evaluate it. (Shane) Duffy was worn out from the previous games. We have a small squad, therefore we can’t take any chances.
“Danny Batth is a true professional who has always played exceptionally well, and I believe he performed admirably tonight. We now need to keep looking for answers for the upcoming game. The latest worry in a lengthy list of issues, including the absence of Onel Hernandez, Jon Rowe, Jacob Sorensen, and Dimi Giannoulis, is Gibbs’ injury blow.”From the first second they were switched on, and after this high, we have known that with a victory we could really back up what we have done on Saturday,” Wagner said. “This was the aim and how the players played, but we haven’t finished the job. I would have liked to have six points – this is a normal reaction after the two performances.” “In football, you don’t always get what you wish – you get what you earn. We only earned one point because of not being ruthless.”
