Prodigious Australian striker Mohamed Tour\u00e9 suffered an upper-leg injury playing with Norwich City in the Championship on Thursday (AEDT) in a potentially major blow to the Socceroos<\/a> three months out from the FIFA World Cup<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Tour\u00e9 went down clutching at his groin as he chased a long ball from teammate Jack Stacey early in Norwich City's match against Sheffield at Carrow Road.<\/p>\n

Norwich City manager Philippe Clement consoled the \ufeff21-year-old as he limped off the pitch.<\/p>\n

Prior to the clash with Sheffield, \ufeffTour\u00e9 had scored five goals in four games since crossing from Danish Superliga club Randers on a four-and-a-half-year deal reportedly worth $5.12 million.<\/p>\n

The World Cup, to be hosted by \ufeffCanada, Mexico and the US, will run from June 12 until July 20 (AEDT).<\/p>\n

\"NORWICH,<\/p>\n

Australia will kick off its campaign on day three of the World Cup in Vancouver against a country to be determined.<\/p>\n

In late March, the Socceroos will play a friendly against Cameroon in Sydney and a friendly against\ufeff Cura\u00e7ao in Melbourne.<\/p>\n

Tour\u00e9 and fellow young gun Nestory Irankunda could form a lethal partnership up front for the Socceroos.<\/p>\n

Tour\u00e9 has scored two goals from five appearances for Australia.<\/p>\n

In Randers colours, Tour\u00e9 scored 12 goals in 48 appearances.<\/p>\n

Football's<\/strong><\/em> new home, Stan Sport<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, is the only place to watch the Premier League, UEFA Champions League, FA Cup, WSL, European World Cup qualifiers, J.League, NSWL and K League<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\"NORWICH,<\/p>\n

Randers manager Jesper Sorensen admitted recently the club may have sold Tour\u00e9 to Norwich City for less than he was worth.<\/p>\n

"If he had played the whole autumn as he has started in Norwich, the price would probably have been different," Sorensen told Danish outlet Bold<\/em>.<\/p>\n

"But that wasn't the case, and that's why we're proud of the sale we ended up making.<\/p>\n

"We are, of course, looking forward to both achieving various bonuses and the opportunity to realise the resale clause that exists. Because he has the potential to go really far."\ufeff<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
