Ivan Toney is in contention for Brentford’s Premier League game against Liverpool on Monday 2 January.

Toney was stretchered off during the Bees’ 2-0 victory over West Ham United last time out, but Thomas Frank, speaking at his pre-match press conference, confirmed that the striker’s injury is ‘not significant’.

“It’s good news with Ivan,” Frank began, “it’s not a significant injury.

“He could potentially be available for tomorrow.

“There’s nothing wrong with his knee. Without going too much into the details, it’s something with the muscle.

“The physios explained the details and I completely forgot! I'm just glad it isn’t serious.”

Frank also revealed that Aaron Hickey and Kristoffer Ajer are progressing well but won’t be available for Liverpool’s visit to the Gtech Community Stadium.

The Reds head south having won their last four Premier League games on the spin, but the Brentford head coach spoke with confidence when asked about his team’s chances on Monday.

“We have massive belief in ourselves,” Frank continued.

“We have a fantastic group of players. We speak about our attitude all the time - we are confident but humble.

“We’re very confident that we can get a very good result against any team, but also humble to know that we have to put so much hard work in.

“Liverpool is a fantastic team, with a fantastic manager. It doesn’t really matter when you face Liverpool; they are always good.

“Under the floodlights at the Gtech, we’ll come flying out and do everything we can to get the three points.

“We want to make it a fortress. We want to be really difficult to play against, also away from home, but especially at home. We need to be brave and aggressive and we need to attack.”
