Thorup on injuries, risk and Leeds away

Norwich City make another trip to Yorkshire on Wednesday night as they take on Leeds United at Elland Road (19:45 GMT).

In preparation for the game, head coach Johannes Hoff Thorup addressed the media and here are the key lines from his news conference:

• No players have recovered from injury. Norwich go to Leeds with the same availability as they had for Sheffield United on Saturday.

• Thorup says its's about "surviving for the next few games" while the injured players recover.

• Despite no shots on target against Sheffield United, Thorup says shots on target are not the best examples of good play. They had some good passages on Saturday that didn't end with a shot - but it was still good play.

• On the risk vs reward of playing out from the back, "we want to avoid duels in the game, we get that from a goal-kick. That's an open game and more random - we want control."

• On goalkeeper Angus Gunn - who is out of contract in the summer, Thorup said: "I hope that he is eager to learn and take the next steps in his career. He has taken some big steps with being comfortable on the ball, I think there has been improvement." Thorup says the club will have a conversation with him and his agent but other clubs will be interested.

• On facing Leeds at Elland Road, he said: "The are the toughest test for us at the moment, but that's what makes it exciting."

• Despite the quality in Leeds' squad, Thorup says he still believes the Canaries can win and he's looking at which of his players will step up and make an impact.
