Norwich City boss Dean Smith says Adam Idah remains nearly a month away from full fitness, despite his recent pre-season exploits.
The 21-year-old has been tipped for a big season with the Canaries after seeing a promising campaign last season ended prematurely by a knee injury.
He has since been working to build up his fitness over the summer, ahead of Saturday's opening day clash with Cardiff City.
But Smith says the forward remains a doubt to face the Bluebirds, despite watching him play 80 minutes against Hibernian in pre-season over the weekend.
“Adam Idah’s gone and got 80 minutes today," he said. "You can tell from his game time in Scotland that he needs that as he’s about three weeks behind where we’d like him at the moment, but he’s had a long time off with injury.”
