Norwich City winger Jonathan Rowe has suffered an ankle injury while training with England’s Under-21 squad and will not be traveling to Serbia or taking part in their Euro qualifier match against Northern Ireland. The extent of the injury is yet to be determined as Rowe is set for further assessment once he returns to Norwich’s training base. The injury comes at a crucial time for Norwich, as they face an upcoming Championship match against QPR and Rowe’s absence could pose a major setback for the team. In a social media post, Rowe seemed to reassure fans with a message that read “back soon,” but the team and fans are awaiting official updates on his condition.
Rowe’s injury could not have come at a worse time for Norwich as the team has been dealing with multiple injury issues. The injury lay-off would be a major loss for the Canaries, as Rowe has been their top goal scorer in the Championship, scoring eight goals across all competitions. The announcement of his withdrawal from the England U21 set-up was made by the Football Association, stating that Rowe would return to his club for further assessment. Norwich’s head coach, David Wagner, is expected to provide an update on Rowe’s condition at the next press conference. The team had been optimistic as goalkeeper Angus Gunn and striker Ashley Barnes were set to return, but now the focus is on Rowe’s recovery.
Norwich is facing a difficult situation with injuries to key players – defender Ben Gibson is sidelined until Christmas, Grant Hanley has suffered a setback in his recovery from a hamstring injury, and midfielder Adam Forshaw may also be unavailable until next month. With striker Josh Sargent also out with an ankle injury, Rowe’s condition has become a top concern for the team. In his absence, Norwich will have to rely on other wide options including Borja Sainz, Christian Fassnacht, Onel Hernandez, Tony Springett, and Przemyslaw Placheta.
As Jonathan Rowe’s injury is evaluated and the team awaits updates on his condition, Norwich faces a tense period with multiple key players already sidelined. The winger’s absence from upcoming matches could impact the team’s performance, and the focus is now on his recovery and a potential return to the squad. Fans and the team are eagerly awaiting official announcements regarding the extent and timeline for Rowe’s injury.
