Norwich City head coach Johannes Hoff Thorup is beginning to see the club’s lengthy injury list clearing up.

The Canaries have lost their past three Championship matches and visit fifth-placed West Bromwich Albion on Saturday.

“It’s looking better, slowly we are getting there,” Thorup told a pre-match press conference.

“Ashley Barnes, Liam Gibbs, Onel Hernandez and Christian Fassnacht are all back which creates a different scenario leading into the games because we have options and more players available.”

The Norwich boss has also been boosted by the return of goalkeeper Angus Gunn who has missed the past six games after sustaining a rib injury in the 4-0 win over Hull City in October.

“He’s an important player for us and before the injury he was performing at a high level so it was not good for anyone to have the injury so it’s good to have him back,” added Thorup.
