' David Wagner receives injury boost '
David Wagner could welcome star man Teemu Pukki back into his Norwich City squad for the upcoming clash with the Bluebirds.
The Finnish international has returned to training and, if he emerges unscathed, could well be involved at the weekend.
However, on the flip side, Kieran Dowell looks set to be out of action until late April following a knee injury picked up against Birmingham City.
"If everything goes to plan, Teemu will train today. If that is without issue, he'll be in the squad," Wagner said.
"Kieran has a knee injury, he will be out until the second part of April. We wish him all the best and will support him to get back on the level that he has shown.
"He won't need surgery but it will take time. It happened very early, after five minutes when he had a great movement in the box. I was quite surprised after the game when I saw the diagnosis on the scan.
"We will miss him like we miss Josh, and we miss Teemu. But even though we've missed them, everyone has done their job and we haven't got carried away with injuries.
"We have hope that Josh will be back before the international break but not tomorrow and probably not Millwall."
