Norwich boss Daniel Farke revealed that Pukki will miss their trip to Manchester United on Saturday. The Finnish international sustained a hamstring strain during his side’s draw with Crystal Palace on New Year’s Day and had previously been carrying a toe injury, although Farke suggested the forward could return in time for the visit of Bournemouth on January 18.
“I hope that at any point during next week he will join us during team training, and I’m pretty confident he will be available for the Bournemouth game,” he said.
