Daniel Farke previewed Norwich City’s Premier League game at Arsenal - and we had all the key lines first from a video chat with the boss at Colney.
Farke has had limited time to work with all his squad due to the international period, but the City head coach has some added options since defeat to Leicester City with Mathias Normann and Ozan Kabak both in the building.
Farke confirmed the duo are fit and available after international duty. Kenny McLean is also in the mix despite pulling out of Scotland's World Cup qualifying win in Austria for assessment on a knee issue.
The midfielder returned to team training on Thursday and if he suffers no adverse reaction will be in the mix for the Gunners' test.
Dimitris Giannoulis (back/neck) is out after his international duty with Greece. US forward Josh Sargent is also a major doubt with a hamstring issue following his transatlantic return.
Meanwhile, Christoph Zimmermann (ankle) is ruled out this weekend after suffering an issue at training in recent days.
Bali Mumba, however, has returned to team training following a knee issue which ruled him out of contention for the previous Premier League game against Leicester City.
