Daniel Farke previewed Norwich City’s Championship trip to Brentford - and we had all the key lines first from a video chat with the boss at Colney.
The Canaries cashed in with nine points out of nine last week but face two tough away tests in upcoming days, starting with last season’s beaten Championship play-off finalists Brentford.
The Bees have seen Olly Watkins and Said Benrahma move on to the Premier League over the summer but are still tipped to be in the promotion shake up under Thomas Frank.
Farke provided a full fitness update on the players who featured in Saturday’s 2-1 home win over Wycombe Wanderers. Adam Idah starts the first of a three match ban for his stoppage time red card after shoving Wanderers’ captain Joe Jacobson.
The City boss confirmed Christoph Zimmermann again misses out but the big centre back indicated prior to that game he is making good progress on his calf injury.

Josh Martin (back) is also unavailable while Todd Cantwell took a bang on his hip at the weekend but if he returns to training later on Monday will be in contention for Brentford.
Onel Hernandez (adductor), Kieran Dowell (ankle) and Sam Byram (hamstring) are not expected to be in contention until early in the new year.
