Oliveira remains sidelined with unknown injury

Norwich City striker Nelson Oliveira remains sidelined with an unknown injury, as the club travel to face Arsenal.

The Canaries make the trip to London to play Arsenal at The Emirates in the League Cup on Tuesday night, but Oliveira will not be fit enough to start.

Daniel Farke says that Oliveira has recovered from his groin strain and is training with the team.

However, he is still feeling pain and is now seeking help to identify the source of the problem.

As quoted by the Daily Star, Farke said this:

It’s complicated and nobody knows what’s wrong.

Nelson is training again but says he still feels pain.

It could be his groin, his stomach or his back and he is even working with a dentist because it could be some problems with his teeth.

So we are working hard to find a solution. But it’s killing Nelson because he can’t start games and he’s desperate to start playing again.

Despite starting four Championship games this season, Oliveira is Norwich’s top goalscorer with five league strikes to his name.

Cameron Jerome, who is leading the line in his absence, has scored once in ten matches so far this campaign.

Norwich will need Oliveira back to full fitness as soon as possible as they look to mount a challenge for promotion.
