Norwich head coach Daniel Farke remains optimistic Teemu Pukki will be fit to lead Finland’s attack at Euro 2020 – but also would ‘selfishly’ like him to have a proper rest ahead of next season’s Premier League return. Top scorer Pukki suffered ankle ligament damage during last weekend’s 4-1 win over Reading, which secured the Sky Bet Championship title. The Football Association of Finland has confirmed Pukki’s injury will not require surgery and remain in close contract with the Norfolk club over the situation. Farke remains hopeful things will work out for both club and country, with Finland’s Euro 2020 opener against Denmark in Copenhagen on June 12. “It is a bit too early to judge the situation (with Pukki for Euro 2020),” said Farke.
