Brentford team news update: Arthur, Henderson, Hickey and Yarmoliuk | OneFootball

Brentford has an issued an update on Benjamin Arthur, Jordan Henderson, Aaron Hickey and Yehor Yarmoliuk ahead of Saturday’s Premier League game against Crystal Palace (3pm kick-off GMT).

The Bees head to Selhurst Park in impressive form having won four of their last five matches in all competitions.

Henderson was rested for Brentford’s 5-0 victory over Grimsby Town in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday. The midfielder has trained fully this week.

Arthur was substituted in the win at Grimsby with an injury just below the knee. He will not be available on Saturday but should be fit next week.

Hickey has recovered from an injury suffered on international duty with Scotland and trained this week. The full-back is available for selection.

Yarmoliuk was withdrawn during the first half of the west Londoners’ 3-2 win over Liverpool due to a contact injury, but he too is available for Saturday’s game against Crystal Palace.

Antoni Milambo has suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury and will miss the rest of the campaign, while Josh Dasilva also remains sidelined.

In his pre-match press conference, Keith Andrews added: "Unfortunately, Yarmo went off last weekend and took a knock, which I think everyone could see.

"He tried to run it off but it was quite a strange one, he landed on studs. We’ve nudged him through the week and got him to a good place where he’s available.

"Aaron picked up a little injury with Scotland in the last camp, so we’ve pushed him as much as we can in a safe way and it’ll be good to have him available.

"Jordan was very much precautionary around the exploits of a midweek game and prioritising minutes, and equally giving other players the opportunities that they absolutely deserve."
