Press news in....

We are in position at the Lotus Training Centre for Daniel Farke's pre-Crystal Palace press conference. Updates to come shortly...

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

DF: We will be without Tim Krul tomorrow. He will be back after the international break.

DF: Sometimes you have strange situations with injuries. As a newly-promoted side, you need luck in these terms. We've been hit pretty hard.

DF: It's still a bit doubtful with Ralf Fährmann as well. We are still missing Christoph Zimmermann and Timm Klose as well.

DF: Mario Vrancic is still out as is Onel Hernandez. Max Aarons is also not involved in the last two games.
The good news is Max Aarons could return earlier than expected. It's down to good work of our physios and good work from him. He will travel with us to Palace.

DF: I hope a few players return after the international break. It's important to gain points now, even with this situation. We showed against Man City we can win points in this situation.

DF: I expect a different game from the one to Burnley. The approach of Palace is different. It is an unbelievably difficult task.

DF: They have unbelievable qualities and options. They won't be the team at the end of the season with the lowest amount of goals, that's for sure.

DF: We were the best team on the road last season. I'm not concerned. It's definitely possible for us to win games away from home. The game is still the same away from home compared to home.

DF: Tim has a muscle strain in his lower back. There is no chance for him. He's been in the gym but is not allowed to run. He will return for the Bournemouth game.

DF: We've been careful with Ralf. It's his first day in team training today. We will have to see how his groin reacts. If he's ready, he will play.

DF: If I have to play with Michael McGovern, I am not concerned. He is a great lad and is always ready to take his chance. He is so professional, he is always analysing the strikers of the opponent with Ralf and Tim. In training, he always delivers.

DF: I trust all three of my goalkeepers.

DF: Alex Tettey overstretched. It's a small groin injury, he will be back for the Bournemouth game, maybe a little bit of hope for the Aston Villa game.

DF: Kenny McLean has proved his can play the deep role, also Moritz Leitner. Of course, they are not natural deep midfielders but they've done well. It's an option to switch positions and move Ibrahim Amadou forward but we will have to find some solutions.

DF: Moritz Leitner wasn't really prepared for the 80 minutes in the Burnley game. He felt his calf a bit after the game. But he played really well. He's in my thoughts on tomorrow.

DF: One key against Palace is to stop Zaha. But it makes no sense to just focus on him. We have to concentrate on their other threats as well.

DF: I'm full of respect of Roy Hodgson's working career. I'm looking forward to meeting him tomorrow. They are well-structured and disciplined.

DF: I expect a fast start from them. Palace deserved to beat Wolves and they will be even more greedy tomorrow. The late goal could be a bit of a wake-up call for them.

DF: In away game, it's important you start on the front foot. At West Ham, we started really well. At Burnley, it was different. We have to be pragmatic and work methodically. We don't want to just protect our own goal, we are good when we control the ball and attack.

DF: We are not just hungry like the wolf, we are greedier that the piggy wiggy.

That's all from the Boss. More to come at canaries.co.uk today and tomorrow ahead of the game!
