Norwich City boss Daniel Farke is concerned about the fitness of Josh Sargent.

The USMNT star suffered a hamstring problem during the international break, and did not play for Norwich in their 1-0 loss to Arsenal in the Premier League at the weekend.

Farke does hope that Sargent will be back soon, as he believes the 21-year-old should be back in full training later in the week.

"He plays in the early hours of Thursday, then arrives after an 11-hour flight from Honduras back to London, so he has jet lag and not much sleep," said Farke.

"I would have taken him in the squad but we scanned him on Friday and there was a low-grade muscle tear in his hamstring.

"Hopefully for the next game he will be available, because he is already a key player for us and important for the group.

"We hope the injury settles in the next few days and then he can train."
