Canaries manager Chris Hughton had said Scotland international Mr Snodgrass had missed last night’s 1-1 pre-season draw with Brighton because of family reasons.

The Daily Record newspaper in Scotland has now reported that the City star’s partner, Denise McKenzie, was taken to Glasgow Royal Infirmary after crashing through railings at around 4pm yesterday.

It is not thought Miss McKenzie, 26, has been seriously injured following the crash in a white Range Rover, which saw a 5ft supporting pole spear the driver’s side windscreen of the 4x4.

It is thought Mr Snodgrass rushed north to see his partner, who was kept in hospital overnight as a precaution.

Some City supporters had grown nervous at Snodgrass’ absence from the squad for last night’s match, following weekend reports he was being tracked by Premier League rivals West Ham.

But Canaries boss Hughton reiterated that Snodgrass remains a key part of his plans for the new Premier League campaign.

“It is very, very simple and I can set the record straight. It is a family issue,” Hughton said. “If he is not with us at Cambridge United then definitely at Braga. Any speculation is wide of the mark.

“It is a personal family issue and we look forward to seeing him again later this week.”

Norwich City Football Club are yet to confirm the incident.
