Tests positive for COVID-19 Hanley tested positive for COVID-19 and is not in the squad for Sunday's match against Leeds.

Busy in defeat Hanley made five tackles and four clearances during Thursday's 3-1 loss to Chelsea.

Remains out Hanley (shoulder) is set to miss the next set of matches and he won't be available for "the next couple of weeks," according to manager Dean Smith.

Impact Hanley was labeled out "indefinitely" about 10 days ago, so it's not surprising that he'll continue to miss out. He's been a regular when healthy, but with more absences ahead, it likely means more time for Ozan Kabak and Ben Gibson on the back line.

Left off injury report Hanley (groin) was not included in manager Dean Smith's injury report ahead of Saturday's clash with Southampton.

Impact Unfortunately, it's not clear what this means for Hanley's availability against Southampton, especially considering this will be Smith's first match in charge of the club. Hanley had featured in the starting XI in all 10 matches for the club prior to getting hurt, so he should be a lock to play if deemed fully fit.

NOVEMBER 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Out with groin injury Hanley will miss two-to-three weeks with a groin injury suffered last week, according to manager Daniel Farke.

Impact Hanley had started every match up to this point, but he played through a groin tweak last match and probably made it worse resulting in a late substitution. While he's been a regular, it's not like the back line has had much success, so the return of Ben Gibson to the XI shouldn't change much for Norwich.
