Norwich City boss David Wagner has confirmed that Shane Duffy will be available to take on Leeds United this weekend. Duffy was arrested and charged with drink driving earlier this week after being involved in two-vehicle collision.
The Canaries defender escaped injury, ensuring he will be fit enough to be involved against the Whites in this Sunday’s Championship play-off semi-final first leg at Carrow Road. However, despite the arrest, Wagner has confirmed that he has trained as normal this week and will be available for selection.
Given the Republic of Ireland international’s importance to the Norwich cause, the news will come as something of a relief to supporters, who have seen him make 36 appearances for the club this season, with his only goal of the campaign coming against Leeds at Carrow Road back in October. The centre-back is now expected to feature alongside Ben Gibson at the heart of the Canaries’ backline.
