Daniel Farke will have a few selection dilemmas to make for Sunday’s final match of the season at Hillsborough against Sheffield Wednesday (12.30pm).
Speaking at his usual pre-match presser at Colney on Friday, he had plenty to say about wanting to win the game but also who might help him do that.
Grant Hanley is rated only 50/50 after taking a knock to his ankle in training.
DF: "It's doubtful Grant Hanley will play. He was not able to train today as he took a hit to his ankle. We will see." #ncfc

That will be a big blow but will give a chance for Christoph Zimmermann to get a runout, with the Hanley and Klose partnership keeping him on the sidelines of late.
Mario Vrancic is also unavailable, having suffered a groin strain. I thought he was excellent against Leeds and his performances generally of late have been hugely encouraging for next season.
DF: "It's good to have Onel Hernandez and Tom Trybull back. They are fully available but we have to do without Mario Vrancic. He has some pain in his groin." '#ncfc

Seeing as Tom Trybull is back fit, we have the obvious replacement for Mario right there. He has missed the last (almost) three months and might be a bit rusty but he is a classy player, so should get back into it soon enough.
Another absentee will be their newest signing, Alex Tettey, who is being rested and given an injection to help his knee. He will get another week of rest to help towards preseason.
DF: "We have some injury problems. We decided this week to give Alex Tettey an injection in his knee so he won't be involved." #ncfc

Alex Tettey spoke to the press and said that he’s glad that he’s made the decision to stay and that he’s excited about the prospect of next season. He did mention as well, that scoring goals and solving that problem is the main subject for Daniel Farke to focus on this summer.
Tell me something I don’t know…
