Press news in...

Updates from Norwich City head coach Daniel Farke's pre-Queens Park Rangers press conference to come from 1pm
----------------------------------------------------------------

DF: No new injury concerns. All the players who were available the other night are also ready to go.

DF: Max Aarons is under a long-term contract with us. He's one of our best players and we have no intention to sell him. In his shoes, we can offer him total trust and teammates who love him. He has a good chance to play an important role in the Premier League next season for a club that loves him.

DF: In the end, it makes no sense for him to move to a club in Germany, Spain or England who are playing for mid-table positions. It also makes no sense to move to a club where he is a back-up - for me, he has the potential and quality to play for the best clubs in the world.

DF: He's linked each and every day with another club. It only makes sense for a top club to make him their number one right-back. The move has to be right for him. We have to take responsibility for Max - it has to be the right move for his career. There are no talks at the moment.

DF: The good thing this time is that we can be more ambitious in the market. We used the previous Premier League money to invest in the club, invest in facilities and long-term contracts for our younger players. Promotion now makes those decisions look like the right decision. Of course, we will still invest in our infrastructure but we are in a much better position and we will be able to invest more in the team. It will still be the underdog.

DF: Ben Gibson and Dimitris Giannoulis will be with us next season. They've been fantastic for us.

DF: The main topic of promotion is done but it would be great to crown the season off with the title.

DF: I didn't want to comment on the European Super League too much. The reaction spoke for itself. The idea was crap. Football is not just about money, it's for everyone - the supporters. You don't have to be rich to take part. Everyone is invited.

DF: We have to make sure always that David can win against Goliath. The decisions everyone makes have to be made for the supporters.

DF: You can't blame or criticise my lads for the last two defeats. We went into the Bournemouth game and started very well, our best period of the season I think. We then conceded a questionable red card and against one of the best teams in the league, it was always going to be difficult.

DF: All the key decisions were against us and a few of my key players were struggling with injury in that game. You then take the tiredness into the next game. Three days later, after playing in underload, it was always going to be tough.

DF: We were not there with our best performance against Watford but it's understandable. We celebrated after promotion but the lads were allowed to do so. There was only two days between the games and we didn't have our best preparation. The schedule was a bit against us.

DF: I'm full of respect for QPR. They are one of the best footballing sides in the league, Mark is doing a great job. They are in position three in the form table over the last 20 games.

DF: In their home games, they are unbelievably dangerous. We won't raise the white flag and we'll go for the win.

DF: I'm not a believer in testing things for next season. I'm always professional and we want to finish as strong as possible.

DF: I can't be more grateful for the owners. It's such a great club and I always praise our owners, you can't ask for better owners than ours. They have so much passion and love for the club.
