Worst injury crisis of my managerial career - Thorup

Norwich City boss Johannes Hoff Thorup has said he is currently experiencing the worst injury crisis of his managerial career as he prepares for Tuesday's Championship game at Sheffield Wednesday.

The Danish coach is aiming to pick his depleted squad up following a late 2-1 defeat at Cardiff on Saturday in which the Canaries conceded goals in the 89th and 93rd minutes.

"We brought [Christian] Fassnacht and Tony Springett on the bench the other day but they were not available," Thorup told BBC Radio Norfolk.

"We had 15, 16 outfield players available for minutes, where one of them was a youth team player who just came from a Friday night game against Manchester City.
