Kellen Fisher Withdraws from U21 Squad
Kellen Fisher has become the seventh Norwich City player to withdraw from international action due to injury. The FA confirmed that the Canaries full back stepped out of the squad after missing their 4-2 victory over Kazakhstan at Molineux.
Injury Woes for Norwich City
Fisher joins teammate Ben Chrisene in withdrawing from the Young Lions squad, with Andre Brooks (Jamaica), Jose Cordoba (Panama), Kenny McLean (Scotland), Mo Toure (Australia), and Paris Maghoma (DR Congo) also missing out through injury. Following Fisher's withdrawal, Divine Mukasa has been added to the group, while Jamie Gittens has also stepped out of Lee Carsley's squad.
Impact on Championship Preparation
This situation presents another injury headache for City boss Clement, who is looking for a reset ahead of their Championship return against early pacesetters Swansea and Southampton. Clement has already confirmed that Toure will be out for months, while McLean and Chrisene are expected to be sidelined for weeks.
Fisher suffered an ankle injury in pre-season but returned ahead of schedule to feature in their Championship opener against West Brom in August. However, he has struggled to find form, having made only four appearances as the Canaries defense has conceded more goals than any other team in the division.
