Brentford has issued an update on Aaron Hickey ahead of Saturday’s Premier League game against Liverpool, which will be broadcast live on TNT Sports (8pm kick-off BST).

The full-back missed the Bees’ 2-0 win over West Ham United on Monday due to an injury suffered on international duty with Scotland.

Hickey, who has made seven appearances for Brentford in all competitions this season, is set to return to full training this weekend.

The defender will be assessed ahead of the west Londoners’ meeting with Crystal Palace on Saturday 1 November.

Paris Maghoma and Gustavo Nunes featured in Brentford B’s 6-1 victory over Luton Town on Tuesday. Both players are in contention for Saturday’s game at Gtech Community Stadium.

Antoni Milambo has suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury and will miss the rest of the campaign.
