Experienced centre-back Shane Duffy will come into Norwich City boss Daniel Farke's selection thoughts for Sunday's play-off semi-final against Leeds United
Big centre-back Shane Duffy is available for selection for Norwich City's Championship play-off semi-final first leg with Leeds United on Sunday. The Republic of Ireland international was charged with drink-driving following a two-vehicle collision on Monday night.
The Canaries, who finished the regular season with a 1-0 defeat at Birmingham City, said they were aware of the incident and would be “considering the matter internally in accordance with its own disciplinary procedure”. Norwich boss David Wagner said: “The club made a statement. I don’t like to speak too much about it. It is a legal process now which is ongoing. We will assess it internally as well.“He has been in full training since the beginning of the week. He trained like normal.
Wagner, who guided the Terriers up through the play-offs in 2017 and kept them in the Premier League the following season, has called for calm heads as the Canaries prepare to tackle the Whites. “Some get excited three days before the game, some get excited when we go for our pre-match meal. We need to keep everyone calm and focused, then the excitement will start," he said.
“Everyone should embrace this situation. We had some exciting games already this season where the players delivered, the derbies, other big must-win games where they were fully on it. That gives us trust and belief that we can deliver again.“Irrelevant stuff you have to keep out, get our messages across. We will only have a chance if we do it together, on the pitch and in the stands.”
