Brentford team news: Hickey update ahead of West Ham fixture | OneFootball

Brentford has issued an update on Aaron Hickey, Reiss Nelson, Gustavo Nunes and Paris Maghoma ahead of Monday’s game against West Ham United.

The Bees travel across the capital to face Nuno Espírito Santo’s side, in a game which will be shown live on Sky Sports (8pm kick-off BST).

On Hickey, Keith Andrews revealed in his pre-match press conference: "Aaron got a bit of a knock in Scotland's first game of the international break and he missed the second match, but he's been back on the grass today."

Nelson and Nunes came through Brentford Under-21s’ 4-0 win over QPR on Wednesday, playing 45 minutes each. Both are available for selection against West Ham.

There is another Under-21s game next Tuesday against Luton Town, which Maghoma - or other players building match fitness - could feature in. The midfielder is now back training fully after missing part of pre-season with a hamstring injury.

It was confirmed earlier this week that Antoni Milambo has suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury and will miss the rest of the season.

"He's obviously very down," said Andrews. "It's devastating for him, first and foremost. He's at a new club, settling into a new country as a very young player that we have high, high hopes for.

"Suffering an injury of that level is obviously very disappointing, but the one thing he knows is that he will get a lot of support here and time to heal.

"To go through that process is the worst part of being a footballer: not being able to do what you love.

"Antoni's got a long road back to getting back on the pitch, but he will get so much support from everyone here at Brentford."
