Team news, injury update on Norgaard, Wissa, Dawson and more

Brentford captain Christian Norgaard is likely to start against Wolves in the Premier League on Saturday (3pm BST) after missing two matches through injury.

Forward Kevin Schade has suffered no lasting effects from the cramp he was affected by in the Bees’ 1-1 draw at home to West Ham last Saturday, while midfielder Paris Maghoma will return to full training after the international break.

Manager Thomas Frank also had positive updates on long-term absentees including left-back Rico Henry, central midfielder Mathias Jensen and attacker Yoane Wissa.

Brentford: Norgaard set to start

“Everyone who knows me and knows [Norgaard’s] quality will know that, if he is fit and available to start, he will probably start,” said Frank.

“Rico Henry has done a lot on the grass and a lot one-on-one; he’s now back training with the team. Jensen is in a better place and has been running on the pitch this week. Wissa is progressing well. He was running on the grass, so that’s good, too.”

Wolves injuries

Wolves manager Gary O’Neil said Craig Dawson had “trained a bit” following an injury and described a glute problem for fellow centre-back Santiago Bueno as “OK”.

Midfielder Boubacar Traore and defender Yerson Mosquera are long-term absentees, while centre-half Bastien Meupiyou is “getting closer” to returning.

“Hopefully, Bastien will train with a group at some point next week or the week after,” added O’Neil. “Apart from that, we’re in an OK spot.”

Scoring four at Brentford last season.
