Press news in...

The media are in position for today's press conference with Daniel Farke ahead of City's early kick-off with Queens Park Rangers tomorrow.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

DF: We are all good and all available. We had a good week in training. It was good to have a proper week as several players were pretty late back from international duty. It was good to have them all back together.

DF: We are thinking of giving Carlton Morris some minutes on the pitch with the Under-23s tonight. He was out for a long time and in the last days he has been in team training. We want to prepapre him with some game-time.

DF: Big compliments to our physios and sports scientists. It's outstanding [to have the whole team fit]. We have managed our load well this season. It's a great team effort.

DF: Football never works like painting a picture. We had an unbelievably difficult game away at Middlesbrough but everyone is fit and available and we have two home games. Our next games will be unbelievably difficult and QPR will be difficult because they had the change in the manager. We have to be there with the same workload, commitment and desire like in the other games.

DF: It's never a guarantee that you will win these games but we are really focused.

DF: You always have to focus and concentrate on what you can influence and that is our game against QPR. Right now our task is to add some points out of this game and we are not speaking about what will happen in two weeks or with the other teams.

DF: It's always a difficult task to play the first game after the change in this position [Steve McClaren leaving QPR]. You don't know what will happen with the base formation so it's hard to prepare. In this moment some players will come in who were not involved and they want to prove they should be in the starting line-up and players who were involved will want to prove the poor results were not down to them.

DF: We will have to be fully focused from the first second to the last second in our processes to be successful tomorrow.

DF: This team [QPR] was able to be there a few weeks ago with a clean sheet against Leeds, so without any doubt this team has quality. We have to be respectful because especially in this first game since the change it's a difficult task.

DF: Big compliments to the Club that we appreciate how important the community is to us. This unity and this spirit is important because we are in the eyes of so many people overachieving, so we need that support.

DF: It's a big topic and reason why we are successful because the players feel each and every day how proud they are to wear this shirt.

DF: I think it would be fully deserved for them to win [EFL award nominations for Max Aarons and Teemu Pukki.] They deserve all the applause and the spotlight. I am confident they will handle this as they are both modest guys with their feet on the ground.

DF: You have to work for it and there will be difficult periods in the game. And this is what we need from our fans to be there not with the attitude that we want some entertainment, but right now we have to work further on all together to be successful. We need all the support and excitement of Carrow Road because it's so important for the players to feel this.

DF: When I think about our kitmen, they are always concerned when there is a day off and they want more sessions to help us be successful. They want to work for our success and when you realise how proud they are and the desire and commitment that they have, then you want to work harder for them. And when we create this with our fans too it's an extra 2% motivation to bring the team over the line.

DF: Michael McGovern is an experienced lad and works hard on training pitch each and every day. He's in brilliant shape, he's a professional player and really good for the spirit.

DF: Our priority at the moment is that everyone is focussed on our targets and then there will be solutions for other contracts. Stuart Webber is outstanding in this topic and no player needs to be worried about anything.
