  • Published

Norwich City forward Mathias Kvistgaarden will be out injured for six weeks.

The Dane limped off with a knee problem at Coventry during the Canaries' most recent Championship game.

Defender Ben Chrisene will miss eight weeks with a hamstring injury sustained in the same match.

Head coach Liam Manning has been speaking to the media before Saturday's game at home to Wrexham - here are some of the key points:

  • Both Kvistgaarden and Chrisene do not require surgery to aid their recoveries from injury.

  • Manning said he is not worried about his side's failure to win at home yet, but admits it is important the team put that right as soon as possible.

  • Defender Jeffrey Schlupp is back training but not available for Saturday's game.

  • Centre-back Jose Cordoba has recovered from flu and will be back in the squad.

  • On Wrexham, Manning said he admires their recruitment following their return to the second tier of English football.
