"There's nothing to report at this moment in time," said Worthington. "We'll just keep making the phone calls and try to make something happen. All we can do is be patient and see what develops."
Matters have been complicated in the last 24 hours with the injury sustained by the striker in our friendly against Leeds yesterday. Clarets’ boss Stan Ternent has already said that Taylor will miss the start of the season because of a mandatory 14 day period following a head injury but sources close to the player last night revealed that he could be out for six to eight weeks.
That would certainly delay any further move by the Canaries with the Clarets forward line set to look a little different for the Palace match with Ian Moore also ruled out with suspension.
There were suggestions over the weekend that it was Palace striker Ade Akinbiyi who was Worthington’s target and not Taylor but that was dismissed by the Norwich boss yesterday. "I can state categorically that there's nothing in that one at all," he said.
