Frank on managerless Leicester, Norgaard and Thiago's fitness

Brentford boss Thomas Frank has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League game against Leicester City (kick-off 15:00 GMT).

Here are the key lines from his news conference:

• Frank started with a squad fitness update: "In general, it's good. We have no more injuries and we are progressing with the players who are out. Kristoffer [Ajer] and [Gustavo] Nunes will not be available for this game."

• He was asked if the club will sign a left-back in January to help with injury issues: "Eight different players can play at full-back, so I think we have enough. Never say never, but I think we will be fine."

• On Christian Norgaard's red card being overturned: "It's more happiness that we have him available for the next three games. It would have been a very harsh decision. I'm very happy that it was correctly overturned."

• On mistakes made by VAR: "This will be an ongoing thing. We are luckily still dealing with people and not AI. Human beings can make mistakes. I think it is progressing in the right way."

• On record signing Igor Thiago's return to full fitness: "He played 70 minutes with the B team on Tuesday so he is more ready to potentially start games - but he will not start [on Saturday]."

• On opponents, who are without a permanent manager after Steve Cooper lost his job last Sunday: "It's terrible timing for us. I'm always sad to hear when a fellow coach gets sacked. I know Steve quite well and I think he's a brilliant coach. Looking from the outside, I don't really know why [he was sacked]."

• On preparation for the game: "We don't know exactly what they will come with. I have watched zero minutes of Leicester this week because I think it's a waste of time. It's 70-80 percent about us."
