Daniel Farke previewed Norwich City’s opening Premier League game against Liverpool - and we had all the key lines first from a video chat with the boss at Colney.
Less than 100 days since Grant Hanley and Alex Tettey lifted the Championship trophy at Barnsley but the football world has tilted for the Canaries. No Tettey, no Mario Vrancic, no Emi Buendia but six new summer signings for a Premier League bow that is set to attract a first full house since prior to the pandemic began.
Farke confirmed new signings Josh Sargent and Christos Tzolis are available for selection for this weekend.
The City chief was without a host of players for last weekend's pre-season finale at Newcastle. Chief among them Todd Cantwell (ankle), but the midfielder has trained in recent days and is in contention.
Milot Rashica and Hanley were among number of players completing self-isolation periods last Saturday, but are also available. Prezemyslaw Placheta, however, is still sidelined with Farke confirming the Pole is no longer testing positive but is yet to re-join training.
Andrew Omobamidele is a doubt for the Reds after having tonsillitis.
