Norwich City face Luton Town in the Championship on Saturday (3:00 p.m. GMT), with the Canaries looking to follow up with a remarkable 6-1 victory over Plymouth Argyle in their last match.

City head coach Johannes Hoff Thorup faced the media on Thursday. Here are some of the key points from his press conference:

  • Midfielder Liam Gibbs undergoes a medical on Thursday. He is dealing with a hamstring injury and will likely be out for the next 10 weeks.

  • Thorup says striker Ashley Barnes made his substitution against Plymouth without any problems. The former Burnley man was playing his first minutes of the season after a long injury absence.

  • Chilean midfielder Marcelino Nunez is fit again and available for selection

  • Defender Jose Cordoba could feature against Luton but is more likely to return from injury against QPR on December 7.

You can listen to the full live commentary of Norwich v Luton with BBC Radio Norfolk FM and DAB on Saturday, coverage begins at 2:00 p.m. GMT.
