  • Published

Norwich City head coach Johannes Hoff Thorup has been speaking to the media ahead of the Canaries' home game against West Bromwich Albion on Saturday (15:00 GMT).

Here are some of the key points from the press conference:

  • Goalkeeper Angus Gunn is fit after missing three Championship matches before the international break. Full-back Lucien Mahovo remains out.

  • "No new injuries from the players that were away on international duty and we had some good contact time with the players here," said Thorup.

  • Thorup traveled to the USA during the international break to spend some time with majority shareholder Mark Attanasio.

  • On leading scorer Borja Sainz, "if he makes it to 20 Championship goals I'm sure there will be plenty of interest in him. He will be very expensive though," added Thorup.

  • January signing Matej Jurasek will also be around the matchday squad but will be used sparingly while he gets up to speed with Championship football.

  • On Saturday's opponents West Brom, "they are a great team who can dominate a game and cause us trouble.

  • "It's important we do everything to give the fans a good experience at the end of the season because we owe them that", said Thorup.
