Brentford team news update: Ajer, Henderson, Pinnock and Thiago | OneFootball

Brentford has issued an update on Kristoffer Ajer, Jordan Henderson, Paris Maghoma, Gustavo Nunes, Ethan Pinnock and Igor Thiago ahead of Saturday’s Premier League game against Fulham.

The Bees head to Craven Cottage following a penalty shoot-out victory over Aston Villa in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday night.

Henderson, Pinnock and Thiago were part of a training group on Tuesday; all three players are available for selection.

Ajer came off against Aston Villa as a precaution due to a contact to the knee but has avoided injury and is in contention for Fulham.

Maghoma is building his running fitness, and Nunes will be in modified training for the next two weeks while he also builds his fitness.

“We rested a couple of players on Tuesday for the right reasons, to utilise the squad and make sure they were okay,” said head coach Keith Andrews.

“We’re in a pretty good place. Jordan had his first 90 minutes [against Chelsea] after a disrupted pre-season and Thiago has had a really good spell but before that had been out for a period of time.

“We just want to make sure we’re looking after them.”
