Norwich Injury Crisis Deepens Ahead of Millwall Clash

Philippe Clement is scheduled to address the media concerning Norwich City's upcoming match against Millwall. The team faces a quick turnaround after a recent draw where multiple squad adjustments were made due to injuries and late returns from international duty. Key players like Ruairi McConville are out, while Jose Cordoba's late arrival impacted selection.

Several players are working back to fitness. Mohamed Toure saw minutes off the bench after a groin issue, and Jack Stacey and Ben Chrisene returned to the matchday squad. Jeffrey Schlupp has rejoined team training after a lengthy absence due to a hamstring problem. Ali Ahmed and Anis Ben Slimane are expected to contend for starting spots.

However, significant absences continue to affect the squad. Matej Jurasek is still weeks away from returning from a foot injury, and Jovon Makama and Papa Amadou Diallo are expected to miss most of the run-in. Harry Amass has returned to Manchester United for rehabilitation but his loan is not terminated. Gabe Forsyth is on a rehab program for a knee injury.

Longer-term absentees include Mirko Topic and Ante Crnac, who are out for the season with ACL injuries. Lucien Mahovo and Shane Duffy also remain unavailable. Meanwhile, Millwall is in strong form following a significant away victory, positioning them second in the Championship table as they pursue promotion.
