Shane Duffy: Norwich City defender 'gutted' to be missing internationals
- Published
Norwich City defender Shane Duffy said he was disappointed to miss out on an international call-up for the Republic of Ireland due to injury.
The 32-year-old hasn't played for the Canaries since the beginning of February after picking up a calf injury against Coventry.
Duffy has 55 caps for his country and was a regular starter in their Euro 2024 qualifying campaign.
Duffy told ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Radio Norfolk:
"I'm a very proud Irish man and I try to never miss a cap - I obviously don't have loads [of my career] left", he said.
"I was aiming to get back a couple of games before the internationals, but I had a little setback. It's difficult to miss those games, and obviously there's a new manager so I didn't want to miss them", he added.
Duffy will miss friendlies against Belgium and Switzerland.
He says his injury is improving and he's hoping to be involved in Norwich's match against Plymouth on Good Friday.
