David Wagner has said that there are no new injuries in the squad ahead of tomorrow's visit of Birmingham City to Carrow Road (KO 3pm).

While goalkeeper Angus Gunn did receive an injection for a shoulder issue, the head coach said that he missed a couple of days training as expected and should be involved tomorrow afternoon.

Borja Sainz made his first appearance for the club on Wednesday against Fulham and Wagner is urging patience with welcoming him back into the fray further.

"No issues after Wednesday night. The guys who were not involved except Danny Batth who was cup-tied, none of our injured players will make the matchday squad," he explained.

"We have to be very sensible with (Borja). But if someone makes an impact like he has done on Wednesday, he deserves to be in the matchday squad. We'll focus on the long-term plan."

Wagner had individual praise for some of the team who face Fulham on Wednesday night with another debutant Jaden Warner impressing alongside Kellen Fisher and Przemysław Płacheta.

"First of all, I totally agree that the team in general have done a great job. It was a first taste, a very good first impression (of Jaden). We were not surprised because we've seen him and the young guys in training, Kellen as well, a third competitive game, full 90 minutes.

"There are boys in the back ground who will get their gametime this season. Will it be tomorrow, next two weeks, next two months, nobody knows, but they are close.

"Przemy improved from week to week. He had a good pre-season. When he came on as a sub, he's made an impact, he's a lot calmer and more mature in ball possession."

Wagner is hoping to see a further response from his side after suffering a 6-2 defeat at Plymouth Argyle in the last league outing.

And is hoping that the home form so far this season will help in pushing the team over the line.

"A very good side, I expect a tough game. They're very competitive. We want to get a home win to get back on a wining track," he said of the opponents.

"The Fulham game helped massively, you can speak about what went wrong and show them how much it effects their performance and the result. But the players need to correct it, this is what we got on Wednesday.

"We have to find an answer for the questions that they ask us. I'm confident we'll find solutions and that we're in the right mindset to move forward."
