Rico Henry is available for Brentford’s Premier League game against Leeds United on Sunday.
Henry missed the Bees’ 2-0 victory over Bournemouth due to a calf strain, but Thomas Frank, speaking at his pre-match press conference, confirmed that the full-back is fit for the trip to Elland Road.
Aaron Hickey, having featured in Brentford’s friendly against Leyton Orient on Wednesday, is ‘touch-and-go’ to make the squad on Sunday.
Shandon Baptiste is also edging closer to a first-team return, but is unlikely to be involved in Yorkshire.
Pontus Jansson and Frank Onyeka (both hamstring) are progressing but remain sidelined.
Leeds United are without a Premier League win since November (three losses, two draws), but Frank stressed that Brentford face a tough challenge on Sunday.
“We’re going to Leeds, one of the most difficult away grounds,” he said.
“They have very good fans, who make a lot of noise.
“The team play and perform much better than the results they’ve got.
“We’re going to Leeds, one of the most difficult away grounds. We need to be very well organised, and we need to believe in ourselves”
"I understand why [Jesse] Marsch said that the Villa game [Leeds lost 2-1 to Aston Villa on 13 January] is a ‘go-to’ performance. They looked such a threat and have players going forward who have pace and a big skillset.
“We need to be very well organised, and we need to believe in ourselves.
“We are on a good run, and we need to use that confidence. Our attitude is that we are confident but humble.”
