Press news in...

We have just arrived at Colney Training Centre.

We're awaiting Norwich City boss Daniel Farke who will be talking to the press about the latest injury news, as well as his thoughts ahead of City's game against Leeds tomorrow

------------------------------------------------------------

DF: Ivo Pinto is ok for tomorrow, we will make a late decision with him but we are not too concerned.

DF: We will also make a late decision on Alex Tettey. He is in a really good shape on his physical condition but it is also mental. In the second half of the last game he seemed to be a bit tired but then he scored a goal.

DF: I'm a bit concerned about Grant Hanley and we will make a late decison with him. All the other lads seem to be ok. I will have a chat with my offensive players as they worked a lot, Jordan Rhodes and Teemu Pukki. It is important we are fresh in the offense and feeling comfortable

DF: We have many options, so whatever we need in tactical terms. We have different types of players and they are all in my thoughts

DF: Mario Vrancic is back in training and we hope to have him back in the squad pretty soon

DF: Leeds have the quality and many players that are able to take chances and score. The team looks well organised and pretty good. It is too early to judge after four games, football is about the long-term performances so we will judge it after six or seven months. But so far big compliments to them and we have lots of respect.

DF: We are full of respect for Bielsa and the way Leeds play.

DF: I think it is important that we as coaches are modest, it is more about the players.

DF: It's a different game, because in the last game we just had one point after three games. Leeds are league leaders and unbeaten with big names on the bench and an experienced coach. We want to be sucessful tomorrow, we play in front of our home fans at Carrow Road and we know we need to be highly motivated to win points out of the game.

DF: Sometimes you have to be there with a tactical change to win the game. You have to think about all the things that are important for a game and find a solution.

DF: We always want to bring our football on the pitch, we don't just want to mirror the opponent and take their strengths away, we want to play with our own strengths.

DF: Leeds have many strengths we have to keep in mind in this game. They will try to press a lot and have high intensity against the ball so we need to find some way of bypassing their intensity. We have to play with confidence and bring our strengths onto the pitch.

DF: Ben Marshall is a brilliant player, he was always there wherever he played. He is outstanding with his crossing technique and we are pleased to have him. One of his strengths is that he is flexible.

DF: With Emi Buendía because he missed pre-season and was out with a injury and then had some time at home with the birth of his child, but he is in my plans because he can add something special and change and influence a game so much. When we were struggling against Preston he came on and had a decent impact on the game. I think he still needs one or two weeks to be in the physical shape to play 90-minutes at this level.

That's everything from Colney. Stay tuned to canaries.co.uk for all the build-up to the game at Carrow Road tomorrow!
