Norwich City manager Alex Neil is not expecting Timm Klose’s injury to be severe, following his anxious exit from play today.
Klose hobbled off the pitch against Southampton as the Canaries picked up a 2-2 draw versus the Premier League outfit.
The Canaries will now face an away trip to play Southampton at St.Mary’s in the replay next Wednesday.
It was the away side who took the lead. Saints captain Virgil Van Dijk expertly volleyed into the bottom corner after he found space in the box from a corner.
Norwich were then handed the perfect chance to level when teenage goalkeeper Harry Lewis fouled Cameron Jerome in the area. Steven Whittaker stepped up and slotted the ball into the back of the net.
Southampton then took the lead again – with Maya Yoshida heading home from a Hojbjerg cross to make it 2-1.
However, Norwich secured the draw in the 92nd minute. Whittaker turned provider as he whipped a superb cross in for Steven Naismith to head home.
Speaking to The PinkUn, Neil said this:
He (Klose) has took a kick on his Achilles but it is one of those we need 24 to 48 hours to make a decision on how bad it is. It looks like a kick and generally with those it is days rather than weeks.
