Norwich defender Ben Godfrey to miss Wolves clash with knee injury

Posted Friday, December 20, 2019 by PA

Norwich will be without defender Ben Godfrey for the visit of Wolves because of a knee injury, which will sideline him until at least February.

The England Under-21 international sustained a lateral collateral ligament (LCL) tear during last weekend’s draw at Leicester, but will not need surgery. Fit-again Scotland defender Grant Hanley could return.

Forward Teemu Pukki is fit as his toe injury turned out to be bruising rather than a fracture. Swiss forward Josip Drmic (hamstring) and defender Timm Klose (knee) continue their rehabilitation.

Wolves hope to have winger Adama Traore fit for the trip to Carrow Road.

Traore suffered a dislocated shoulder during last weekend’s defeat by Tottenham, but has been improving following treatment.

Midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White (back) continues his recovery, along with centre-back Willy Boly (fractured leg) and Bruno Jordao (ankle).

Norwich provisional squad: Krul, Aarons, Hanley, Zimmermann, Byram, Trybull, Tettey, Cantwell, Buendia, McLean, Pukki, Fahrmann, Lewis, Vrancic, Hernandez, Stiepermann, Amadou, Srbeny.

Wolves provisional squad: Patricio, Doherty, Coady, Jonny, Neves, Saiss, Moutinho, Dendoncker, Jimenez, Jota, Traore, Ruddy, Bennett, Vinagre, Kilman, Neto, Cutrone, Ashley-Seal.
