Alex Neil: Injuries key to Norwich play-off hopes, says former manager

Norwich have a good chance of reaching the Championship play-offs if they can avoid further injury disruption, says former manager Alex Neil.

He led the Canaries to promotion from the second tier in 2015, a feat matched by Daniel Farke in 2019 and 2021.

The current Norwich side, under David Wagner, are seventh in the table with 12 games left to play.

"It's really competitive this year, I think it's going to be difficult," Neil told BBC Radio Norfolk.

After taking 10 points out of 12 from their first four games of the season, Norwich only won two of the next 11 with a number of key players, including striker Ashley Barnes and Josh Sargent hit by injuries.
