DF starts by saying that Stiepermann has had a sickness bug but will be fine for tomorrow.

Louis Thompson had an issue with his hamstring but he is ok and able to travel. Cantwell had a swollen eye but is also ok for tomorrow.

Hernandez, he was able to train for the first time today. It will be a bit soon for Derby but he should be able to play against Stoke.

There is no progress with Kenny McClean at the moment still unable to play. DF says he is feeling lots of pain which is a real worry - stop hanging around with Matt Jarvis, Kenny!

Marshall still 50/50 and will be a late call on if he is going to travel.

DF still sees Stiepermann as a central midfielder:

'Marco had some slight injury problems in the last season, and especially when we want him to play him in the central role it is crucial that you are strong. He joined us in each and every session in pre-season and he is now in outstanding condition and is coming into his rhythm in that midfield role. He is crucial at the moment for us.'
 
Also, Morris is back out doing light training so hopefully getting close to a return. I think we might see a loan for him in January if he is ready for it and give him a few months playing. I would hope he is pushing Srbeny for his bench place.
 
Norwich: Krul; Aarons, Zimmermann, Klose, Lewis; Tettey (C), Leitner; Buendia, Stiepermann, Cantwell; Pukki. Subs: McGovern (GK), Godfrey, Thompson Trybull, Vrancic, Srbeny, Rhodes
 
Evening/Morning DG and YB

Unchanged side again - thats a luxury we havent had for a long time

Felt nervous though for some reason on reading it - like its expecting to much - but what a bench!!!
