Press news in....

We're in position at Colney and awaiting Daniel Farke ahead of tomorrow's match at Nottingham Forest...

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

DF: Teemu Pukki will miss 2/3 weeks with a hamstring injury. It's small tear but could be worse. He won't travel with us tomorrow and won't play against Villa. Small hope for the Brentford game.

DF: We were so careful with him before the break in training. Therefore he was able to start many games and score the goals. It's always a great honour to play for your country but the load is always high. Teemu is pretty important for Finland. They were desperate to play him. I have no complaints with this injury. We have to deal with it.

DF: I'm unbelievably happy with my strikers at the moment. Teemu was scoring a lot, Jordan played less but always delivered and Dennis played a lot less but was scoring when he played. It's a good chance for Jordan and Dennis.

DF: Grant Hanley isn't back to full fitness. He has improved. He is 75% there but he could return in around two weeks time, maybe three.

DF: Kenny had some more surgery 10 days ago. He's on crutches at the moment. He is around 2/3 weeks away from being back from team training.

DF: Max was rested in the last England game. I was pleased with that because he's had a lot of load. Jamal is also in a good condition. He played two games but looks good.

DF: Ben Marshall was out for a few days with illness but apart from that, all the lads are okay.

DF: In the start of the season, it's important not to rotate too much because you need to get into a rhythm. Then when you get into your rhythm, you can start to make more changes. The last two weeks have been important for the likes of Mario Vrancic and Louis Thompson. I'm pretty sure we will start to rotate more than the recent spell.

DF: I was pretty pleased with our last spell. I don't want to break the rhythm too much so hopefully we can find the right solutions.

DF: I liked a lot what Forest did in the summer. They brought in real quality and brought in players that fit Karanka's style. It's a tough place to go but every game is tough at this level. We have many high quality opponents coming up. We know we are capable of beating these high quality teams.

DF: There are many simlarities with Wolves. They've brought in many players with a Portuguese background and players who are good in possession. We are full of respect for them but we know when we are at our best, we can win the points.

DF: It's a tough place to go. No one in the league likes to play against Norwich at the moment though. We believe in our strengths.

DF: It's always fine margins. If there are more injuries, it could be difficult for us. But the level of performances recently have been much better than last season. All our wins so far have been deserved. The depth of our squad is much better than last season. For example, in the striker position we have lots of quality.

DF: We are now pretty much settled in the way we wanted to play. I'm pretty sure that we can go further on in the same way.

DF: It was brilliant news for the young lads [Max, Louis, Jamal] with their contracts. They've committed to us, they believe in our way and our direction.

DF: I have respect and praise for Steve Stone. The financial pressure was high in the recent months and he played an important role in helping the Club through it. We are very thankful to him. It doesn't affect so much my role and the footballing side. I work a lot more closely with Stuart Webber.
