Amankwah Forson could reportedly return to training ahead of Saturday's Championship trip to Coventry City, after injuring his shoulder on League Cup duty at Crystal Palace.

The Norwich City midfielder suffered a suspected dislocated shoulder after losing his footing when applying pressure to Crystal Palace's Will Hughes in the first half of their 4-0 Carabao Cup defeat. 

Forson was administered gas and air as well as given an injection on the pitch before heading to the ambulance at Selhurst Park, where it was popped back into place. He later re-emerged with his arm in a sling. 

Johannes Hoff Thorup indicated immediately after the game initial fears of a serious injury had been allayed, and Ghananian football expert, Owuraku Ampofo, claimed on Thursday morning further tests on Wednesday confirmed Forson is not likely to be out beyond the upcoming international break.

Thorup will provide the latest update when he holds his pre-Coventry press call at Colney later on Thursday afternoon.

"It was an injury with the shoulder. Of course, you never really know, but it looked a little bit better than expected when we saw him after afterwards," Thorup confirmed post-match at Selhurst Park.  

"We need to wait and see. We need to have a doctor look at it, and we'll see how it goes, but I'm crossing my fingers. I think it's actually a little bit better than I expected. 

"We will wait and see, but otherwise, it's another one who needs to step in and make a good performance. What we saw tonight is that some of the guys who haven't played as much this season - they were ready. That's a positive sign." 

City squandered two major opportunities at key moments in the contest that would have brought them back into the tie before going on to concede poor concessions at the other end.

"Regarding the chances, I think the way that we've approached the games and have been doing for the last couple of weeks especially, we will get many chances in the games that we play. 

"It's just a matter of time before we start scoring more than just one or two goals in the games. The boys did well in terms of that. 

"It is more the defensive part where it's not because we allow too many chances against us; in four moments of the game, they showed high quality and we could have done better. It's those moments I want to look at and see if we can improve."
