Crucial Norwich star suspended for Bluebirds clash
Norwich City defender Shane Duffy is suspended for this weekend's clash against Cardiff City.
The centre-back picked up a booking in the 3-1 defeat by Blackburn Rovers at the weekend, his fifth caution of the season, and as a result he will have to sit out the trip to the Welsh capital.
The Irishman has been a crucial cog in the wheel at Norwich, having played 90 minutes of every Championship game this season, barring Saturday's defeat against Rovers, where he was taken off after 60 minutes.
The Canaries are short on options there, though, with Ben Gibson and Grant Hanley injured, which compounds Duffy's absence. Cardiff were keen on Danny Batth in the last throes of the transfer window, but a deal couldn't be struck and he went to Norwich. He has since played a combined four minutes of league action for the East Anglian club.
Indeed, midfielder Kenny McLean was chosen ahead of him to fill in at centre-back at the weekend.

Not sure thats good news for us. I seem to recall him being our MOM a few years ago when he was at Blackburn, scoring two own goals and getting sent off!!!!
