Norwich City dealt double injury blow ahead of Huddersfield Town clash

Norwich City will be without Jacob Sorensen for a number of weeks while Teemu Pukki is a doubt for the visit of Huddersfield Town on Tuesday night.

Sorensen has started all three of Norwich’s league games this season but was withdrawn after 56 minutes as the Canaries lost 2-1 at Hull City on Saturday.

Smith has confirmed that the Dane had a scan on Sunday which revealed a stress fracture in his foot, ruling him out of tomorrow's contest with the Terriers.

“Teemu Pukki has a bruised foot after the shot he had in the third minute at Hull," said Smith on Monday morning.

"He will have a scan today, but he played the rest of that game.”

Norwich are one of three sides yet to win in their opening three Championship games but Smith is confident a victory is around the corner.

He added: “We did the debrief yesterday and showed them the mistakes. The size of the chances we are creating are very good. We will win games.”
