Team News: Norwich City face double defensive blow for trip to Leeds United

Norwich City have taken several hits for Saturday's Premier League clash with Leeds United, as two defenders will be unable to make the squad.

Daniel Farke's come into the game on the back of a 7-0 thrashing at the hands of Chelsea last week, and they will be without centre-back Ben Gibson, who started in that game and was shown a red card after 65 minutes.

The Canaries will also continue to play without German defender Christoph Zimmermann, who will spend a further six weeks on the sidelines after surgery, as revealed by the Yorkshire Evening Post.

Zimmermann made 22 Championship appearances as the Canaries won promotion back to the top tier last term, but he is yet to feature this season due to his extended injury issues.

Gibson, on the other hand, has already played seven Premier League games for Farke's men this campaign, having only been on the bench for defeats to Arsenal and Watford in September.

Norwich head into Saturday looking to post their first league win of the season at the 10th time of asking, with Farke's side sitting at the foot of the division with just two points, having conceded 23 goals.
