Onel Hernandez facing lay-off following surgery
Onel Hernandez will spend up to three weeks recovering from a hernia operation, according to Michael Bailey of the Eastern Daily Press.
The winger was named Norwich’s player of the month for August, and his absence on the forward line will be felt immediately by the Canaries.

The 25-year-old has scored twice in seven Championship appearances so far this year, and had made a claim on the starting left-wing position in the Norwich starting XI.
With Ben Marshall ill, Norwich are facing something of a selection crisis at the winger position.
Jordan Rhodes is likely to start in the centre forward position, with in-form forward Teemu Pukki the likely candidate to push out wide on the left wing.
A less than ideal selection quandary for Daniel Farke, who is enjoying a three match unbeaten run in all competitions, with Saturday’s 1-0 win against Middlesbrough doing much to ease fans’ worries.
