Norwich City Gears Up for New Season Under Clement

Norwich City's non-World Cup players return to work, with Philippe Clement prioritizing pre-season training.

What are the key objectives?

Clement's short-term goal is to get his squad fitter and able to last the Championship course longer. Norwich City's recent form has been LDWWL, with a league standing of 9th in Championship, 65 pts, 19W-8D-19L from 46 games.

Player Fitness and Injury Management

Player fitness and injury management have been a concern for Norwich City in recent seasons. Clement has acknowledged the need to improve in this area, stating that he wants to make things better now and build the players to be more robust.

Transfer Activity

Norwich City has already made moves in the transfer market, completing deals for Brazilian youngster Bruno Alves and former QPR loanee Sam Field. Clement has a reputation for trusting young players, which could be beneficial for Alves.

Looking Ahead

With the new Championship fixtures scheduled to be released this week, Norwich City is gearing up for a strong pre-season. Clement's intensity and demands on his players suggest this will be a pre-season unlike any other for many of his squad.
