For the first time since August, Josh Sargent featured in a competitive match for Norwich City.
Sargent played the final 12 minutes of the Canaries’ 1-0 road loss to Millwall on Friday night. It marked Sargent’s first appearance since August 26 after being sidelined over four months due to an ankle injury.
Tom Bradshaw’s first-half goal propelled Millwall in front and the Lions were able to hang on at the Den. Despite George Saville’s ejection before second-half stoppage time, Norwich City was unable to find a tying goal.
The 23-year-old led the Canaries with three goals in four appearances prior to his injury. Sargent’s return should provide a major boost for David Wagner’s squad heading into 2024.
Norwich City opens its 2024 schedule at Carrow Road against Southampton before facing Bristol Rovers in FA Cup play. The Canaries are 13th in the EFL Championship table, five points out of the top-six race.
Sargent’s return is also a positive sign for the U.S. men’s national team heading into a busy international schedule. The USMNT faces Jamaica in March during the CONCACAF Nations League semifinals.
