Ashley Barnes: Norwich boss David Wagner 'over the moon' to have striker back

Norwich City head coach David Wagner is "over the moon" to have Ashley Barnes back after two months out as their injury problems start to ease.

The 34-year-old former Burnley striker was signed in the summer and scored twice in his first five appearances.

But he has not played since the 2-0 home defeat by Leicester on 20 September because of an ankle injury.

"The pain has gone, he's full on in training and it's a big boost," Wagner told BBC Radio Norfolk.

"We are altogether over the moon that he is back - he has trained the whole week without any issues.
