Norwich City Player Ratings: Arminia Bielefeld (Pre-season)

Norwich City opened their pre-season with a hard-fought 2-2 draw against Arminia Bielefeld. 

The Canaries locked horns with the German side in their first friendly ahead of their highly-anticipated return to the Premier League. 

Daniel Farke named a strong team, and as the match progressed, he made numerous changes as he handed several of his first-team and youth players chances to impress.

It was Bielefeld who took the lead against Norwich, however, as midfielder Reinhold Yabo found the back of the net after 31 minutes.

The Canaries bounced back seven minutes later, though, as Dennis Srbeny scored. They were soon 2-1 up, as Josip Drmic opened his account on his debut for the club with a coolly-dispatched penalty. 

Bielefeld hit back with an equaliser in the 86th minute as 17-year-old Jomaine Consbruch curled the ball past Tim Krul and into the top corner. 

Farke will not be too concerned by the result, as building fitness ahead of a difficult campaign is the priority, but he will be anxious to discover the extent of the injuries suffered by Ben Godfrey and Louis Thompson. 

Here are our Norwich player ratings from the 2-2 draw.
