'We can't accept this' - Norwich boss on Idah's absence

Celtic target Adam Idah was left out of Norwich City's friendly with Hoffenheim for disciplinary reasons, head coach Johannes Hoff Thorup has confirmed.

The English Championship club's new boss revealed the striker, who enjoyed an impressive loan spell in Scotland last season, "reported late" for a team flight on Sunday.

Earlier this summer, the Scottish Premiership champions had a bid rejected to sign the Republic of Ireland striker on a permanent deal.

A fortnight ago, the Norwich head coach said Idah "will be a valuable player" for him following a friendly appearance against Club Bruges.

But after Tuesday's 2-2 draw with Hoffenheim, Thorup told club media: "He reported late for the flight on Sunday, we decided he should come as quick as possible.

"Of course he could not be a part of this game today. There are some things we can accept and some things we cannot accept, this part we cannot accept it."
