Daniel Farke previewed Norwich City’s League Cup, second round home tie against Bournemouth - and we had all the key lines first from a video chat with the boss at Colney.

Much has been said about two bruising opening Premier League encounters with Liverpool and Manchester City. But the focus switches to the Cherries' midweek cup visit to Norfolk, and a chance for Farke to test the depth of his resources.

Farke provided a full fitness update on those who featured in Saturday's 5-0 defeat to the champions. City's squad will train later on Monday afternoon and a light session on Tuesday morning.

Centre back Christoph Zimmermann will come back into the mix if he completes those sessions, after missing out through illness that limited his training in the build up to the weekend defeat.

Przemyslaw Placheta is not expected to be available until after the upcoming international break due to the effects of Covid.

Sm Byram remains sidelined but Farke reported no fresh injury or fitness concerns.

The City chief also suggested at Colney he is confident Brandon Williams' will be eligible for the Cherries' visit after completing his loan move from Manchester United.

Farke hinted he will make a number of changes from the opening two Premier League line ups. Christos Tzolis and Josh Sargent appear in line for involvement following their recent moves.

Angus Gunn is an option to replace Tim Krul while the likes of Ben Gibson, Grant Hanley and Kenny McLean are all playing catch up after injury hit pre-seasons.

Onel Hernandez and Jordan Hugill have both failed to make the matchday squads for the opening league tussles.
