Former Norwich City star Bradley Johnson is of the view that the Canaries lack in the creative department and stressed that without Gabriel Sara, they will struggle severely.

Norwich have only managed to secure four points from their last five league games and they are currently in seventh place in the league table with 17 points from eleven games.

On Saturday, David Wagner's side failed to snatch three points from Coventry City despite leading with Jonathan Rowe's 40th-minute strike.

Johnson believes that Norwich are lacking in the creative department and believes taking out Sara, who has scored three goals and assisted three so far, would make the Canaries significantly weak in the creative front.

"If Sara does get injured, who else is going to create that spark in the team?, Johnson said on BBC Radio Norfolk.

"Jonathan Rowe is the one player who can do that.

"I have not seen much of any other players, really.

"You need to have creativity in the team and if you take Sara out of this team, I do not think you will get it."

Norwich will face Leeds United after the international break and it remains to be seen whether Wagner will be able to find a solution for their creativity issues by then.
