Kieran Dowell: Norwich City signing ruled out for 12 to 14 weeks

Norwich City midfielder Kieran Dowell is set to miss much of the rest of 2020 after injuring ankle ligaments.

The 22-year-old was hurt in a heavy challenge during the first half of their 2-2 draw with Preston North End and will be out for 12 to 14 weeks.

The former England youth international was making just his third Norwich appearance after a summer move from Everton for an undisclosed fee.

He scored on his Norwich debut in a 3-1 Carabao Cup loss at Luton this month.

Dowell played twice in the Premier League for the Toffees and had loan spells at Derby County and Wigan last season, scoring a hat-trick for the latter in their 8-0 win over Hull City in July.
