Norwich City head coach David Wagner confirmed that Teemu Pukki will start Monday's fixture at home to Blackpool, with Josh Sargent one of those to miss out.

"I know everyone is keen to give Teemu the send off he deserves," He said. "He's a standout guy, and he will start on Monday for sure.

"You can only imagine how big this moment is. Five years is a very long time in football, especially the five years he had with all the success.

"He's been focussed as normal in the last few weeks. Internally it's obviously emotional for him, but you wouldn't be able to tell with Teemu.

"He will be missed, but we know he deserves to make his own decision. We've backed what he decided, as he moves on."

The head coach also spoke about Sargent and Onel Hernández ahead of Monday's tie.

"Onel trained and is available. We've had to shutdown Sarge, as he's had a few shin problems. We need to look forward to next season for him, and will miss Monday's game.

"McLean and Gibson are back on the grass with the fitness guys, and will be back for testing next week. From there, we'll have a clear vision.

"We'll sit down and reflect. We'll get our head around and adapt, get some ideas onboard. I want every player to know what I expect for next season."
