Norwich City boss, Daniel Farke, expressed confidence in his position at the club, stating that he has the backing of the board and of the new sporting director, Ben Knapper, who is set to start his role earlier than planned. However, Farke is under pressure to turn around his team’s poor form, as Norwich has only won once in their last ten matches and has dropped down the Championship table. Farke attributes some of their struggles to an ‘injury crisis’, with several key players unavailable for their upcoming match against Cardiff.
Norwich will be facing Cardiff with the hope of securing a much-needed victory before the international break. The team is plagued by injuries, with key players such as Angus Gunn, Ben Gibson, and Josh Sargent sidelined. However, there is some hope for Norwich as Grant Hanley could return to the squad, and Danny Batth could make his first start for the club. This match will also mark the end of Stuart Webber’s tenure as the sporting director, making way for Knapper to officially join the club on Monday. Norwich is looking to end their poor away form, having won just one of their last 10 away games.
On the other hand, Cardiff has been enjoying a strong home record this season, having lost only one of their seven home matches. They currently sit in seventh place in the Championship table, thanks to their solid structure and astute recruitment under manager Erol Bulut. Cardiff will be without midfielder Aaron Ramsey and winger Callum O’Dowda for the upcoming match against Norwich. The pressure is on for Norwich to secure a victory, as they hope to ease the pressure on Farke and stop their recent slump in form.
