Huge double injury ‘risk’ for Sheffield Wednesday clash as Norwich City boss provides fresh update
Sheffield Wednesday head to Carrow Road in midweek.
Norwich City could be without first-choice goalkeeper Angus Gunn when they host Sheffield Wednesday next week, with manager Johannes Hoff Thorup unable to guarantee a midweek return.
Gunn missed his side’s Friday evening 1-1 draw at home to Oxford United due to hamstring ‘tightness’, having first reported the issue to medical staff following the previous weekend’s stalemate at Blackburn Rovers. The 29-year-old was fit enough to test himself in training but Thorup opted against taking any risks.
Norwich host Wednesday at Carrow Road on Tuesday evening and with such a tight turnaround, there are obvious doubts as to whether Gunn will be available. Should the experienced shot-stopper miss out, then George Long will likely come in if he recovers from a recent concussion in time – otherwise it could be down to third-choice Vincente Reyes.

“I’m not there where I can rule him out for Tuesday,” Thorup told The Pink Un of goalkeeper Gunn. “There’s a risk that he will not be involved. He spent time with us on the pitch, and we tried but it was too much for him. He could feel that pain. I don’t know if it’s exactly when he was jumping, but it was when he was running.
