Norwich midfielder Mario Vrancic determined to build on first start

Norwich City midfielder Mario Vrancic is desperate to kick on after making his first Premier League start of the season in Sunday's loss to Sheffield United.

A regular in the Canaries' Championship title-winning campaign, the Bosnia and Herzegovina international has struggled with a calf injury since preseason.

"It felt great. I quite enjoyed it, until we conceded the two goals!" said Vrancic.

"Obviously I'm pleased that I could start a game and hopefully there are many games that are following now.

"It's part of the game when you are injured.

"You miss playing football and I will try my best to contribute, to influence the game and give my best to help the team and the manager."
