Norwich City boss Philippe Clement says the injury suffered by Ali Ahmed during Saturday's 2-1 friendly defeat by Osasuna "does not look good".

Ahmed had to be helped off the pitch in the 79th minute at Carrow Road and was replaced by Liam Gibbs.

The 25-year-old moved to Norwich in January from Vancouver Whitecaps, going on to score four goals and provide three assists in the Championship.

He then made four appearances for Canada at the World Cup as the co-hosts were knocked out in the round of 16.

"It doesn't look good, he felt something in his knee, that's never good of course," Clement told BBC Radio Norfolk.

"Everybody is a little bit devastated and you saw that on the pitch. It has a knock on all of the team. It is not only team-mates, it is really a family together.

"The players are so united, that's why it has more of an effect than when you are just team-mates."
