Sheffield Wednesday v Brentford FA Cup team news: Donovan and Nelson in contention, Ouattara won’t be involved | OneFootball

Romelle Donovan and Reiss Nelson are in contention for Brentford’s FA Cup third round tie against Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough on Saturday (3pm kick-off GMT).

Igor Thiago scored a brace as Keith Andrews' side beat Sunderland 3-0 in the Premier League on Wednesday, while the Owls were defeated 3-0 by Queens Park Rangers in the Championship last time out.

“We’re still dusting everything down from the game last night,” Andrews revealed in his pre-match press conference on Thursday.

“We’ll see where a few of them are. What I can guarantee is that we’re taking the game seriously.

“We took the League Cup really seriously, we got to the quarter-finals and were beaten by Manchester City, and the same approach will be taken towards the FA Cup. It’s a competition I have a lot of love for.”

Andrews added: “Dango [Ouattara] won’t be involved in this one; I’ve given him an extra couple of days off because he’s been pretty full on in his endeavours with Burkina Faso. We’ll get him back in and involved ahead of the Chelsea game.

“Romelle’s definitely in contention. He’s training really well in the main, and I like a lot of his qualities. He’s probably been a little bit unlucky not to get Premier League minutes. I anticipate Romelle getting some minutes at the weekend.

“Reiss has come back from a knock during the December period. He’s come back into the fold and probably hasn’t been ready to start games, but he’s edging closer with the minutes he’s been getting.

“We’ll get Reiss, and the team in general, back into a flow as the games become more week to week from this Saturday onwards. Reiss will certainly be involved at the weekend.”

Josh Dasilva (knee ligament) remains sidelined, while Fábio Carvalho and Antoni Milambo will both miss the rest of the campaign due to ACL injuries.

Frank Onyeka is unavailable due to his involvement in the Africa Cup of Nations with Nigeria.
