Norwich's Nunez Misses Chile International Duty Due to Injury
Norwich City fans will be relieved to hear that their star striker, Teemu Pukki, will be available for the Canaries' upcoming Championship clash with Bristol City. However, the same cannot be said for the Chilean contingent, as their key striker, Ben Brereton Diaz, will miss out on international duty due to injury.
The news broke just as the Chilean squad assembled for their upcoming friendlies against Paraguay and Cuba. Brereton Diaz, currently on loan from Blackburn Rovers to Norwich City, was expected to lead the line for La Roja but has been ruled out with a minor knee injury.
This is a blow for Chile, who are looking to build momentum ahead of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. Brereton Diaz, who has been a vital part of the Chilean attack since his debut in 2020, will be missed by Manager Eduardo Berizzo.
Norwich City, on the other hand, will be pleased to have their star forward available for their crucial Championship match. Brereton Diaz has quickly become a fan favorite at Carrow Road, scoring three goals in his first six appearances for the club. He's hoping to build on this strong start and lead the Canaries to a promotion push.
It remains to be seen how long Brereton Diaz will be sidelined, but it's a setback for the player and Chile alike. However, the Chilean squad remains strong with plenty of attacking firepower, and will be looking to secure positive results in their upcoming friendlies.
