Norwich midfielder Alex Pritchard needs surgery on his injured ankle and will be out for a minimum of three months, the Championship club have announced.

Pritchard, 24, missed the Canaries' opening two games after he was carried off on a stretcher during a friendly win at Cambridge last month, and boss Daniel Farke confirmed the club's worst fears.

"It's bad news for Alex Pritchard," Farke told Norwich's official website. "He needs an operation so we will have to do without him for at least 12 weeks.

"We hope he will be able to return in the middle of November, then will need time when he's back in training.
