Dean Smith previewed Norwich City’s Championship trip to Birmingham - and we brought you all the key lines first direct from Colney with the boss.
Norwich have won three second-tier matches on the bounce and are hoping to continue that momentum against John Eustace's Blues on Tuesday night, who are sitting 21st in the Championship season.
Liam Gibbs limped out of Saturday's victory over Sunderland with an ankle injury, but Smith confirmed that a scan has shown the injury isn't as bad as first feared. Although the midfielder will spend a portion of time on the sidelines.
Smith also delivered a positive update on Isaac Hayden, who is back running after missing pre-season with a knee injury suffered a week after joining the club from Newcastle United.
Sam Byram has come through his 70 minutes of action at Sunderland unscathed and could feature at St Andrews for the Canaries providing he feels he is able to handle the load.
Norwich remain without Dimitris Giannoulis (ankle), Sam McCallum (metarsal fracture) and Jacob Sorensen (stress fracture). Smith is hoping they can be active in the final days of the transfer window but is expecting a quiet conclusion to their summer transfer business.
