Head coach Keith Andrews provided an update on Rico Henry ahead of Brentford’s FA Cup game against West Ham United at London Stadium on Monday (7.30pm kick-off GMT).

The Bees are looking to progress to the quarter-final of the competition after a 1-0 win over non-league Macclesfield in the previous round, while Nuno Espírito Santo’s side beat Burton Albion in extra-time in their fourth-round tie.

Henry was forced off before half-time in the west Londoners' 0-0 draw with Bournemouth in the Premier League on Tuesday night.

"Rico did his hamstring the other night," revealed Andrews. "Everyone could see he was in quite a bit of distress with that when he had to come off.

"Rico won't be available [for West Ham], and he'll probably be out for a decent period of time, unfortunately.

"He worked really hard to get back to the point where his performances were at a really high level, so that's really unfortunate with him.

"We will get him back as soon as we can and as soon as it's safe to do so."

Andrews added: "I'm really, really gutted for him.

"I was obviously here last year, and I'd seen the struggles that you go through as a player when you're injured, as well as what you have to show mentally to come through those periods.

"The frustration of watching your team-mates go out every day is heartbreaking, because you can't do what you love doing.

"And then, when I took over in pre-season, I was always very careful about making sure we really looked after Rico, Aaron [Hickey] and Igor Thiago really well.

"We did really well to get him back, and his performances were outstanding; what he was producing against some of the best wingers in the league was so impressive.

"He epitomises the way I like the game to be played: aggressive and front-footed. And he's been a big, big part of what has been the best chapter in this club's history; he's been on the journey

"It's really disappointing for him, I'm gutted for him, and of course we'll miss him. We'll just support him now and get him back as best we can and as soon as we can."

On Reiss Nelson, who hasn't featured in a Premier League matchday squad since the 2-0 defeat to Brighton and Hove Albion, the Bees boss stated: "Reiss will hopefully be involved, but we're not entirely sure yet."

Aaron Hickey (hamstring) and Vitaly Janelt (metatarsal) remain sidelined, with Josh Dasilva (knee ligament) still also out.

Fábio Carvalho and Antoni Milambo will both miss the rest of the campaign due to ACL injuries.
