The former Arsenal and Juventus player, Aaron Ramsey, has been sidelined with a knee injury since September and it was expected that he would recover soon. However, a complication with his tendon has caused the period of inactivity to be extended. According to his coach, Bulut, Ramsey has been experiencing pain in his tendon while training, and is currently resting. Although it was initially anticipated that Ramsey’s comeback would be soon, he will not require surgery. Instead, the medical department has recommended a week of rest followed by training.
In addition to Ramsey, experienced Championship winger Callum O’Dowda is also suffering from a groin injury and is not expected to return until December. Norwich, who are currently under pressure with a head coach and a 17th place standing in the second division table, will be playing Cardiff, who are undefeated at home since August. Despite being underdogs, Norwich’s coach, Bulut, is wary of the threat posed by Cardiff and is preparing his players to be 100% focused for the game. He stresses that no game is easy and has reminded his team of a previous game against QPR at home, which was thought to be an easy win but ended in a 2-1 loss.
Overall, the current focus is on the recovery of key players like Ramsey and O’Dowda, as well as on preparing the team for their upcoming match. The absence of these players has put the team in a challenging position, especially for a game against a formidable opponent like Cardiff. The coach is emphasizing the importance of being mentally and physically prepared for the game, as demonstrated by the previous unexpected loss. It is clear that Norwich is facing a difficult period, and the coach’s main concern is ensuring that their team is ready to face the challenges both in terms of injuries and the competitive nature of the matches.
