5 players now fighting for their Norwich City career under Wagner…..

Norwich City managed to get back to winning ways right before the International break kicked in, David Wagner’s Canaries coming from behind against Cardiff City to win 3-2 on their travels to the Welsh capital.

Two goals in the final ten minutes for the travelling Yellows secured the dramatic three points, a fortunate Ryan Wintle own goal trickling in to level the scores with Adam Idah then becoming Norwich’s hero on the day to score a late winner.

Still, the mood around Norwich is sour – the Canaries are way off the promotion pack near the top of the division, with thoughts in Norfolk centreing on the fact Wagner has just simply bought himself more time to cling onto his precarious job post with this victory.

Wagner can’t take all the blame for Norwich’s recent woes however, with a number of players falling short of their usual standards this season to contribute to the ongoing mess.

Here are five players taking up 15% of the wage bill in the Canaries camp who could be sweating about their immediate futures in the first team.

With the Norfolk-based club since the 2017-18 season, it could be time for the eight-time Cuba international to move on permanently to a new club in the near future.

Hernandez has been shipped out on loan in recent years in the hopes to get him back up to speed, but this season for Norwich as a regular first-teamer again, he is floundering in the Championship when needed.

Averaging a sub-par 6.65 Sofascore rating this season, the once electric winger – who scored eight times during the 2018-19 promotion season under previous manager Daniel Farke – is now largely anonymous in matches with zero goals this term and just one meagre assist next to his name.

Displays against Blackburn Rovers and Middlesbrough really highlighted Hernandez’s current ineffectiveness, the Canaries humbled on their own turf both times with their Cuban midfielder way off the pace – successful with just one of his three dribble attempts against Boro, whilst his display against Rovers saw him dodge defensive duties with only three of his eight ground duels won as per Sofascore.
