Norwich City are still looking for their first home win of the season after the Canaries conceded a stoppage-time equaliser to draw 1-1 with fellow Championship strugglers Oxford United on Tuesday.

Queens Park Rangers visit Carrow Road on Saturday (15:00 GMT) and before the game head coach Philippe Clement has been speaking to the media.

Here are some of the key points:

  • Midfielder Mirko Topic sustained an ACL knee injury against Oxford and will miss the rest of the season.

  • Clement said he is staying positive despite a raft of injuries in the squad.

  • He said a few of the injured players are nearing a return, but not in time for Saturday's game.

  • Clement spoke about wanting to see good performances from his side, but positive results are the most important thing right now.

  • "I believe there is much more potential in this group than they have shown until now," Clement said.

  • On forward Jovon Makama, who scored against Oxford: "For me he is at 30% of his potential. I am really excited to work the next few years and months with him."
