Mathias Normann and Sam Byram delighted supporters by taking part in question and answer session with Norwich City Fans Social Club.

The event, hosted by the Athletic's Norwich City reporter Michael Bailey, saw the players touch on a number of different subjects, including the recent game at Liverpool, their recovery from their respective injuries and working for head coach Dean Smith and assistant head coach Craig Shakespeare.

The loudest cheer of the night came when Mathias touched on his desire to stay at the Norwich, when his current loan deal from Rostov comes to end in the summer.

"I don't want to be a loan player, that is just how it happened," he said. "I want to stay here and I want to stay in the league. Let's see what happens, but we just have to give it our best."

Touching on how he dealt with being out injured, Mathias added: "It is not fun being out and seeing the games and not being able to help your teammates. However, it is better to be around the teammates and have them to come up to you and say they are missing you on the pitch. That gives you motivation to work hard to get back and help them.\

"Sam (Byram) is also an inspiration for me because I have seen him and his story and it is about not giving up and doing your best to get back."

Speaking about his teammates and the dressing room, Sam said: "I got on really well with everyone. Where I sit in the changing room I have got Kieran Dowell to my left and Grant Hanley to the other side and those are probably the ones I speak to the most.

"Norwich is very good in the players it recruits though. They are always good characters. They never bring someone in who is going to be bad for the team or bad for the dressing room. It is a really good group of players."

The players also took questions from the audience, where Mathias promised a young fan that he would dye his hair silver again if he scored against Southampton on Friday and Norwich won the game; and another supporter gave a rendition of the new song for our Norwegian midfielder that brought a round of applause from the audience.
