Onel Hernandez set to miss Norwich Easter fixtures

Posted Thursday, March 29, 2018 by PA

Norwich winger Onel Hernandez has a hamstring problem and will not feature in the Easter schedule, which starts with the Sky Bet Championship visit of Fulham.

Defender Grant Hanley will be available despite returning early from Scotland duty because of shin splints, but Wales forward Marley Watkins will be assessed after travelling back from China.

Midfielder Alex Tettey, though, is back in contention following a foot injury, while forward Nelson Oliveira is fit from his calf problem.

Winger Matt Jarvis continues his recovery from a long-term ankle injury, while midfielders Moritz Leitner (hamstring) and Marco Stiepermann (groin) are also still receiving treatment along with Tom Trybull (ankle/knee) and Louis Thompson (Achilles).

Fulham will continue to monitor defender Tomas Kalas.

Kalas, who had been out with a hip problem, travelled with the Czech Republic for the China Cup, so will be assessed.

Manager Slavisa Jokanovic reported has no other fresh injury concerns ahead of the trip to Carrow Road.

The Cottagers will be out to extend an unbeaten run which stretches to 16 matches which has seen them climb to third in the table.
