Norwich City’s Cordoba Sidelined for Upcoming Matches

Norwich City head coach Johannes Hoff Thorup addressed the media in anticipation of the Canaries’ Championship fixture against Plymouth Argyle, scheduled for Tuesday at 19:45 GMT. This follows City’s 2-2 draw with West Bromwich Albion on Saturday, a result that concluded a sequence of three consecutive losses. The following are key announcements from the press conference: Defender Jose Cordoba is set to miss the next two matches due to a knee injury. Thorup expressed his expectation that Cordoba would return for the away game against QPR on 7 December. Midfielder Marcelino Nunez is progressing in his recovery from injury and might be available for Saturday’s home fixture against Luton Town. Striker Ashley Barnes has regained fitness and will be included in Tuesday’s squad, marking his potential first appearance of the season, most probably as a substitute. Captain Kenny McLean will return from suspension for Tuesday’s match. Thorup referred to him as “one of the best midfielders in the league”. Full live commentary of the Norwich versus Plymouth game will be broadcast on BBC Radio Norfolk, accessible via FM and DAB, starting at 19:00 GMT on Tuesday. The broadcast will feature Sandi Toksvig alongside Gyles Brandreth, Lulu, Emmanuel Sonubi, and Alan Davies. Listeners are invited to participate with songs from artists such as Queen, Taylor Swift, Bon Jovi, Katy Perry, and others. Ben Fogle and Kate Humble are scheduled to return for the festive events at Longleat Safari Park. Topics covered include microplastics found in air, soil, and waterways, as well as the issue of food waste during this period. © 2024 BBC.
