Brentford injury update: Thomas Frank offers a squad update in front of Manchester United Clash

Head coach Thomas Frank has provided an injury update in front of Brentford's Premier League game against Manchester United.

The bees return to the GTECH Community Stadium after an impressive victory of the week against Nottingham Forest after an impressive victory of the week against Nottingham Forest.

“Everyone is sure, fit, okay,” said Frank.

“We are ready to go again on Sunday. Of course it's a close turnaround, but it is what it is and we look forward to playing on Sunday.

“It's all about recovery from the last pipe last night [Thursday] Under basically two hours before the game on Sunday. We are ready to attack again. “

As reported on Wednesday, Aaron Hickey and Igor Thiago returned to complete training. The full -back Hickey (Hamstring) has not been available since October 2023, while the striker Thiago (knee) has been limited to four appearances since his change from Club Brugge, with the youngest from those who came against Newcastle United in December.

A player who will not present this term again is midfielder Vitaly Janelt, who recently had an operation to tackle a problem in his heel.

It is also unlikely that Fábio Carvalho (shoulder) will be available again, while Josh Dassilva (knee) still cuts off.

The opponents on Sunday, Manchester United, are 14th in the Premier League table, three places and 10 points worse than the bees, but Frank believes that Ruben Amorim's team deserves more points from their performances.

“It is a team that is very structured. You know what you want to do offensive and defensive,” he said.

“The performances in Europe show that there is potential and actually in the Premier League you don't have what you played.

“There are many games with high expected goals and opportunities, the rhythm of the games, they deserve more.

“You are united, it is one of the largest clubs in the world. You will make a very competitive team outside on Sunday.”
