How bad is Norwich’s injury crisis? Five things to know…<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  • Norwich face defending champions Man City<\/span> at Carrow Road on Saturday.<\/li>\n
  • But Daniel Farke has named a worrying amount of absentees ahead of the match.<\/li>\n
  • Timm Klose, Christoph Zimmermann, Tom Trybull, Moritz Leitner, Mario Vrancic and Max Aarons are all ruled out through injury.<\/li>\n
  • Tim Krul, Ben Godfrey and Grant Hanley are also doubts, while loanee Patrick Roberts is ineligible to face his parent club.<\/li>\n
  • 19th-place Norwich have conceded the highest number of goals (10) in the Premier League<\/span> this season.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    An already improbable task has been made that much more difficult with an injury crisis sweeping Carrow Road.<\/p>\n

    Norwich’s official Twitter account provided live updates of Farke’s press conference and, all in all, it made for an incredibly uncomfortable thread for fans.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Paraphrasing Farke, they wrote<\/a>: “Timm Klose doesn’t need surgery. It won’t reduce his time out. He is out for 9 months but could be 1-2 months less.<\/span><\/p>\n

    “Zimmermann is out until January. His ligaments are okay but it’s a complicated injury.<\/p>\n

    “Grant Hanley is not available for the starting line-up tomorrow. He is back on the training pitch today and he could play 20\/30 minutes tomorrow.<\/p>\n

    “Tom Trybull is out. He damaged his ligaments against West Ham. He won’t come back before the next international break.<\/p>\n

    “Patrick Roberts is ineligible. Moritz Leitner is out with his calf. He hasn’t trained for 2 weeks.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    “Mario Vrancic is not available for tomorrow, he has a calf strain. Max Aarons is also out, he could be back after the next international break.<\/p>\n

    “Ben Godfrey came back with a groin strain from international and is a major doubt for tomorrow. It will be a short-term decision.<\/p>\n

    “Tim Krul is a minor doubt for tomorrow. I may have to name three goalkeepers in the squad.”<\/p>\n

    Revealing so many absentees on the eve of facing the Premier League<\/span> champions was always going to be a lot to take in for Norwich fans, who have, understandably, provided plenty of reaction on the social media platform themselves.<\/p>\n
