Norwich boss Lambert confident they can recover from double injury blow

Norwich City boss Paul Lambert refuses to panic after being hit by a double injury blow.

Lambert accepts the loss of striker James Vaughan and centre-back Elliott Ward for the start of Norwich's Barclays Premier League campaign is a blow, but will not be rushed into buying replacements.

"They are both going to miss the start of it, which is a bit of a blow for us, but we have to go on and that is why you have the squad," said Lambert.

"It is not a few months or anything like that. Hopefully they will be back quite soon, but they will miss the first few games, that is for sure.

"We will have to get them back pretty quick when they start their rehab."
