Press news in...

Philippe Clement will face the media at 1:30pm today to provide his thoughts ahead of Norwich City's trip to the King Power Stadium to face Leicester City tomorrow lunchtime.
---------------------------------------------------------------

Mo Toure has a muscle injury, he will be out for 4-6 weeks. 'It's groin injury'.

Jose Cordoba is available. Amankwah Forson will be in the selection. A few 'bits and bobs' on some other players, who will travel, but need to be assessed.

PC on volume of injuries - "No comparison to any of my other clubs (amount of injuries). We are digging into that. I don't want to go too deep into it, and I don't want to point the finger at people who are not here anymore."

PC on striker solutions - "One of the other centre-halves told me today that he played as a striker at academy level, so we might have another option."

PC on striker solutions - "The two players who are closest in the 23s went out on loan in January. Currently, there is nobody at the level who is ready to step into the Championship."

PC and the NCFC recruitment team doesn't believe there is any free agent striker options who have the quality to help the team.

PC - "I will look for answers and I'm really happy the team is doing what we are asking them."

PC on Jacob Wright - "Jacob is still only 20 and never played at this level. He is doing a really good job and his body is still developing, so I need to manage that in the right way. I am really happy with Jacob."

PC on the No.6 role - "They are all different and that is why I like them all (Wright, McLean, Field). They are all smart and they are all doing the job really well there"

PC on Leicester: "We need to look at our own story and where our club was 3 months ago, it was in a tough place. The Championship is tough and there is no easy games. You have examples in the past with teams that have come out of the Premier League, with Premier League players and got relegated again to League One."

PC on no draws in 2026 - "I would have loved some draws in the games we lost. But we go out to win every game."

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

That's all from the NCFC boss this afternoon.
