Welcome to Colney for today's Championship briefing ahead of Birmingham City's Saturday visit. Mr Clement scheduled to speak to Dr D from 1:30pm.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Oscar Schwartau's injury is not a big one, but he will be out for a few weeks.
PC on Schwartau: "He had his biggest sprint until now at the club and he felt his hamstring after."
Vladan Kovacevic will be available. Jakov (Medic) is back in training. Amankwah Forson completed his first week back in training.
Harry Amass remains on loan at NCFC. "We are doing his rehab alongside Manchester United."
PC on Josh Sargent - "I told you if I get a message, then I would tell you. I have not got that message yet."
PC on Leeds cup draw: "Big challenge. Good team. Big club and fanbase. I know the club from my past, I played a friendly there once with Monaco. It's a really good challenge."
PC on growth since his first game at the helm - "There is a lot of good progression both on-and-off the pitch. We work together with the owners and Ben (Knapper) to make things even better."
PC on Birmingham - "They have a big squad, so they can easily change five players during a game to add freshness. They have good offensive players, but also a good collective."
PC on CSF takeover day: "We have a young squad in general, they have grown-up in the bubble of football. We need to educate them that there is more to life away from this bubble. This club is doing a lot for the community."
PC - "It's nice to be the only club in the neighbourhood. Everybody around here supports Norwich and is now talking about the club. The club needs to give more back to this community."
PC keen to stress how involved Mark & Mike Attanasio are with the club (who are sat in the room), they 'have picked up on the different vibe' around the club now.
Paris Maghoma is not ready for 90 minutes yet for 'how we want to play'. PC: "He knows he hasn't played much football this season."

That's all from Philippe for today at Colney.
