Norwich City's Alexander Tettey injury persists
Norwich City midfielder Alexander Tettey will remain sidelined for "a couple of weeks" with a knee injury.
.
The 26-year-old was initially expected to be a short- term loss, but has not featured in City's last two games.
.
"It's a very slight knee problem he has got," Norwich boss Chris Hughton told BBC Radio Norfolk.
.
"We'll look for him to come back in really good shape and make the impact we would like him to make in the last period of the season."
.
Norway international Tettey has added athleticism and power to the Canaries midfield, featuring 22 times since arriving from Rennes in the summer.
.
Former Leeds captain Jonny Howson has stepped up in his absence for the 2-1 win over Everton and 4-0 loss to Manchester United.
.
"We've been advised to rest Tettey for a short period of time," added Hughton. "There's no doubt it's the right decision.
.
"It is a loss because of his continuity and number of games he's played.
.
"But Jonny Howson is a player we value very highly and I think overall it's been a disappointing season for him, because he is generally a player who has been playing in his career."
.
Meanwhile, wideman Andrew Surman's injury problems are continuing, with the South African unlikely to feature again this season following knee surgery.
