READ NORWICH VERDICT
In their statement, Norwich have described the knock as “minor” which suggests that his withdrawal from the Northern Ireland squad could be a precaution and that he still has a chance to face Bournemouth after the break.
If not, Daniel Farke could move Max Aarons over to left-back – where he played at times last season late on in matches – and bring Sam Byram back in at right-back.
Byram was solid in his two starts against Manchester City and Burnley, but was then hit by an injury himself, so he could be raring to go if he gets the chance to play against Bournemouth.
