Canaries hit by Ruddy blow

Norwich goalkeeper John Ruddy faces three months on the sidelines with a thigh injury.

The 26-year-old has shone for the Canaries in their rise to the top flight and has become a regular in Roy Hodgson's England squad.

However, Ruddy faces a substantial period out of action after being forced off with a thigh injury eight minutes from the end of Saturday's 1-1 draw with Everton.
