World Cup Returnees Boost Norwich Squad
Kenny McLean, Jose Cordoba, and Anis Ben Slimane have returned to Norwich City after their World Cup experience with Scotland and Tunisia. Their early reintegration into the squad adds depth and competition, particularly in midfield and defense.

Philippe Clement's Tactical Focus in London
Philippe Clement has opted for a week-long training camp in London, prioritizing time on the pitch over travel fatigue. This approach allows for in-depth discussions with players about their goals for the season.
