Norwich City are looking for their first Championship win since August and welcome Hull City to Carrow Road on Saturday (12:30 GMT).

On Wednesday, club owner Mark Attanasio backed head coach Liam Manning to continue in his role despite a run of five defeats in a row.

Ahead of the Hull game, Manning has been speaking to the media and here are some of the key points:

  • The head coach said he had a "good honest chat" with majority shareholder Mark Attanasio while he was in the UK

  • Manning said Attanasio understands the issues that the club are going through with regards to injuries and loss of form

  • "I'm really not happy with where we are at," Manning said

  • The City boss says it is good that Attanasio came over from the United States while the team are struggling, rather than only showing interest on the back of a winning run

  • Full-back Jack Stacey will miss the Hull game after suffering a concussion during training. It is his second concussion issue this season after sustaining a similar injury in the home defeat against Wrexham

  • Defender Ben Chrisene will miss a "couple of weeks" following a setback with his injury recovery

  • Midfielder Amankwah Forson is back in full training following his injury lay-off. Manning said he will "possibly" be in the squad for the Hull game
