Norwich City head coach Philippe Clement has spoken to the media before the Canaries' Championship match against Sheffield United on Wednesday (19:45 GMT).

Here are some of the key points:

  • Goalkeeper Dan Grimshaw is not available because of a calf injury he picked up against Leeds United on Sunday in the FA Cup.

  • Midfielder Pelle Mattsson has trained well as he continues his recovery from an ankle injury and could feature in the squad.

  • Clement has said Mo Toure (groin) and Oscar Schwartau (hamstring) should be back available after this month's international break.

  • On the FA Cup defeat to Leeds, Clement discussed how far his team have come since he arrived last year, but how far they still have to go to have the quality of a Premier League side.

  • On Sheffield United, he said: "They bought several experienced guys in this January, but play in a similar style to when we played them before. They are still ambitious to go to the play-offs. They play direct, vertical, so we know what they will bring, so it's down to us to stop them and get the three points."
