Mathias Normann says he got a bit emotional on his return to first team action following three months out with a pelvic injury.
Speaking ahead of Friday night’s game with Southampton, Mathias who started Norwich City’s previous match at Anfield, said: “I remember when I came in for the FA Cup game against Wolves, I actually got a little bit emotional after the final whistle, because I was finally back and playing again.
