Norwich City head coach David Wagner says he has no fresh injury concerns ahead of the Canaries' trip to Millwall this weekend.

Winger Josh Sargent remains out.

"No new injury concerns," Wagner said.

"Everybody is available and healthy. A similar squad to those who played against Cardiff.

"Sargent is close, but not quite close enough. He won't back for Millwall."

The gaffer said the team had benefitted from a full training week ahead of the match, and mentioned Teemu Pukki, who could make his 200th appearance for the club:

"It was good for Teemu to get a few more training sessions in. Two hundred games for any club is great. He deserves all the credit that he gets.

"We're really looking forward to it, we like to challenge ourselves against opponents like these. We need to make sure our principles are right and get a positive result."

Wagner reckons Milwall, who are currently fifth in the table, will make a strong opponent:

"They're very direct and physical. We need to make sure we're ready for this challenge. There's not a lot of points between the teams, so we're excited.

"Home or away, we need to make sure we're totally focussed."

Three thousand Norwich fans are expected to travel on Saturday, which the manager said would be a great turnout: "We have such a great away support, hopefully we can pay back the energy we get from the stands, 3,000 fans, our biggest following of the season.

"The fans send their own message in how many go to the games. They'll show the noise and do everything, like we will do, to get a positive result."
