Young Lions Chief Praises Fisher’s Stellar Performance at Norwich
Kellen Fisher has been named in the Young Lions squad for Tuesday’s European Under-21 qualifier against Moldova at Carrow Road. The City full-back has been a regular under Philippe Clement and has impressed during his spell at Norwich. Young Lions chief praises Fisher’s stellar performance, highlighting his rapid progress this season.
Carsley’s assessment
Lee Carsley said Fisher has improved both on and off the ball. He praised the player’s attitude, training habits and teamwork.
Carsley noted Fisher’s journey from non-league football. He said that resilience will help Fisher sustain a long career in the sport.
Competition for places
Fisher faces strong rivals for the right-back role. Brooke Norton-Cuffy represents a club in Italy. Rico Lewis remains a Manchester City option.
Carsley reminded observers this is a two-year programme. Players have time to push for regular minutes in the squad.
Match context and crowd appeal
The Young Lions dropped points for the first time in qualification with a 1-1 draw in Andorra on Friday. That game was played on astroturf in very cold conditions, Carsley said.
He urged Carrow Road supporters to help swing momentum against Moldova. Carsley said Norwich fans bring real commitment and energy to matches.
Carrow Road memories
Carsley reflected on positive memories of playing at Carrow Road. He emphasized how invested the fans are in their team.
