Christoph Zimmermann believes Norwich City’s upcoming Sky Bet Championship schedule could turn out to be a decisive period in the season.
City face four of the league’s top eight sides in their next five games, with the other being the small matter of the East Anglian derby at Carrow Road on February 10.
Zimmermann, who turns 26 on Saturday, says the squad are well aware of the significance of the spell coming up.
“It could be decisive,” he said, speaking to canaries.co.uk. “We have lots of games against teams in the top six and a few of them are away – added to that, the fact of the East Anglian derby - it’s going to be very tough.
