Head coach Keith Andrews has provided an update on Rico Henry, Vitaly Janelt and Jordan Henderson ahead of Brentford’s Premier League game against Manchester United on Monday (8pm kick-off BST, live on Sky Sports).

Henderson has been sidelined since the end of March, while Janelt (metatarsal) and Henry (hamstring) have been unavailable since the 2-0 defeat to Brighton and 0-0 draw with Bournemouth, respectively.

On that trio, Andrews commented: "They're doing well. I've just walked past all three of them, they've been doing a session separate from the group.

"They're back on the grass and making good progress. They've all got slightly different timeframes as to when they'll be back, but they won't be available for Monday."

Josh Dasilva (knee) and Kaye Furo (groin) also remain out. Fábio Carvalho and Antoni Milambo will miss the rest of the campaign due to ACL injuries.

On Monday's fixture against the Red Devils, Andrews said: "We want to approach this game in a very similar way to how we approach every game.

"We're very aware of their strengths... they've got some magnificent players that we need to try and keep quiet.

"It's an amazing game for us. I said this to the players: we've got three brilliant away games - United, City and Liverpool - and two London derbies at home against West Ham and Crystal Palace.

"We've put ourselves in a good position, but we're not content with where we are and we want to keep pushing."

He added: "[Old Trafford] is a special place to play football, with the history of the stadium and the football club.

"You want to go there and test yourself as a player. And it's a really tough test for us, against a team that's playing well. Michael [Carrick] has got them playing some really good football.

"It's a game for us that we should attack and embrace the challenge of it."
