Norwich City training for Millwall disrupted by snow

Norwich City manager Paul Lambert
Lambert's side have put together a nine-game unbeaten run in the league

Norwich City have had to change their training schedule for the Boxing Day game against Millwall after it was affected by snow.

Despite having an indoor training facility manager Paul Lambert is worried players may get injured.

Lambert told BBC Radio Norfolk: "We've got a terrific facility but you don't want to take certain players in there.

"It affects people's joints in different ways and about half-a-dozen can't really train in there."

The change in training comes as the manager prepares to go into Saturday's game with just one recognised central defender.

Gary Doherty is suspended and Jens Berthal Askou is out with a foot injury.

Michal Spillane is still recovering from a long-term hamstring injury so Michael Nelson is the only centre-back remaining.
