Brentford forward Igor Thiago has been named in the starting XI for the Bees’ Premier League meeting with Wolverhampton Wanderers this afternoon (3pm kick-off GMT).

Thiago was not included in the squad for the west Londoners’ 2-0 Carabao Cup quarter-final defeat to Manchester City on Wednesday, having picked up a knock against Leeds United last weekend.

Rico Henry, Yehor Yarmoliuk and Kevin Schade are in from the start at Molineux, while Aaron Hickey, Jordan Henderson and Dango Ouattara (AFCON) are the three players to make way.

Hickey and Henderson are named among the substitutes.
