Norwich City Captain Grant Hanley Faces Surgery on Achilles Injury

Early Return Dashed for Norwich Skipper

Norwich City captain Grant Hanley is facing surgery on his Achilles injury and is likely to miss the Championship run-in.

The centre-back made his return to the side in the 1-0 defeat at West Brom but was forced off after just 20 minutes with an Achilles problem.

Scans have confirmed the worst fears of Norwich City and Hanley, with the club captain now set to undergo surgery this week.

The injury is a major blow to Norwich City, who are pushing for promotion to the Premier League.

Hanley has been a key player for the Canaries this season, making 30 appearances in all competitions.

Norwich City are currently second in the Championship, three points behind leaders Sheffield United.
