After Tuesday’s match at Carrow Road against Watford, Wagner will provide an update on the results of scans to determine the exact extent of the hamstring damage sustained by the England Under-21 international.
Rowe will not be playing against the Hornets, and Wagner’s comments at Colney on Monday indicated that he expects his best player to be sidelined for several weeks.
The 20-year-old was substituted during the latter moments of the Saturday league tie at QPR, 2-2.
In addition to Tony Springett’s Football League loan, City approved the departure of fellow wide winger Przemyslaw Placheta during the transfer window last month. However, Onel Hernandez and Christian Fassnacht are in the running to start with Borja Sainz.
Of course, every wound aches. However, it may hurt considerably more if it’s your best scorer, Wagner added. “Game injuries are a given. There’s always a chance of more injuries, even when the transfer window closes.
“We have to deal with this, and we do have some alternatives in the wider sectors, of course. Furthermore, if we are talking about weeks rather than months, I believe that everyone must deal with this.
The disappointment of losing two points in the team’s pursuit of promotion was exacerbated by Rowe’s late injury departure at Loftus Road.
Wagner, though, brushed off the notion that winning at home against Watford and Cardiff in the upcoming days will be under increased pressure.
“I wouldn’t say this game has more pressure than the away games against Hull or Leeds, QPR, or Coventry,” he remarked. Our industry is focused on achieving results. If you decide to pursue a career in professional football
“Though things are tight right now, the players are confident and playing well. Although we did not want a point, we accepted it and are now faced with a superior side.
“I believe it’s acceptable to feel a little frustrated about only earning a point after trailing 1-0 away from home. It is imperative that you win your home games if you draw away from home.
“Under the floodlights of Carrow Road, this is our goal. With this game, we can vent some of our frustration.
