Daniel Farke previewed Norwich City’s Premier League trip to Brentford - and we had all the key lines first from a video chat with the boss.

Farke tackled the mounting speculation on his own future, and delivered a fresh injury blow with captain Grant Hanley ruled out on Saturday with an adductor problem.

Hanley appeared to pick up the issue in the first half of last weekend's 2-1 defeat to Leeds but played on until the closing stages.

The defender will miss Scotland's upcoming qualifiers and is also an early doubt for City's next league game the other side of the international break.

Fellow centre back Ozan Kabak is suffering with glandular fever, and Farke confirmed he is a doubt for the Bees' test. Ben Gibson returns to the fold after serving a one match ban.

Christoph Zimmermann underwent ankle surgery last week that will sideline him for a number of weeks.

Farke also confirmed Todd Cantwell and Sam Byram are not in his Premier League plans this weekend. Farke was non committal on whether Cantwell could feature for the Under-23s later on Friday at Carrow Road, who host Nottingham Forest's Under-23s.
