Norwich City head coach Johannes Hoff Thorup confirmed that there are no fresh injury concerns ahead of Sunday's Sky Bet Championship fixture at home to Burnley.

Norwich City head coach Johannes Hoff Thorup confirmed that there are no fresh injury concerns ahead of Sunday's Sky Bet Championship fixture at home to Burnley.

"We have the usual guys who are out, nothing from the game on Tuesday night. We'll look at the minutes they've had, especially the guys who have just come back with injuries," the head coach said.

"We will rotate just a little bit, so as many people as possible are ready for the Christmas period. We're monitoring everything, like we do with all the players.

"It's tough for Kenny. He's more or less always available, never injured. Now he's got the ban, that means he's been out for 30 per cent of the season. That's not something he's used to."

The head coach also spoke about recent away form and the need to find a way beyond that.

"We're in the phase of the season where nothing is perfect. We've seen the highs and the lows. On the journey, we need to sometimes be able to take a point, especially away from home.

"Some teams accept we will have the ball and sit back, it's about finding a way beyond that. I'd like us to be better at building from goal kicks, room for improvement."

Hoff Thorup also highlighted the threats that Scott Parker's side will pose at Carrow Road on Sunday.

"They are solid and disciplined. In so many areas, they are a top team. The whole coaching staff is new, but they've done great work. Like us, they're still taking steps.

"When we are at our best, we can compete against the best in the league. We need to focus on us and make it a game that we want it to be. That's the ambition for us on Sunday.

"We can expect moments in the game where they dominate, as they have many good players. We are prepared for moments where we defend and support each other. We can't switch off as they are too good in those moments."
