Sport ‘Comical’, ‘Absolutely shameful’ – These Brentford fans are not happy following injury update

Brentford head into tomorrow’s game against Sheffield Wednesday without several key players, as it was confirmed that Rico Henry would be facing two months on the sidelines.

A run of three consecutive defeats has seriously halted the Bees’ momentum, as whilst they remain second, they are only a point ahead of Swansea, with the Welsh outfit having two games in hand.

It’s no coincidence the slump for Thomas Frank’s side has come whilst he’s had to do without several influential players, including Ivan Toney last time out.

And, an update was provided on the injury situation this afternoon, with Pontus Jansson, Emiliano Marcondes and Christian Norgaard all improving but they remain out, whilst Josh Dasilva is not fit enough to start.

How is ex-Brentford manager Marinus Dijkhuizen getting on these days?

With Brentford flying and just one point back from the top of the Championship, Thomas Frank is likely a popular man among Bees fans right now. The Dane stepped into the role after Dean Smith’s exit and looks set to lead them to a very serious promotion challenge this year. However this season finishes, you […]The Dane stepped into the role after Dean Smith’s exit and looks set to lead them to a very serious promotion challenge this year.

Frank will also have a striker problem, as Marcus Forss has concussion, meaning he joins Toney in missing Wednesday’s visit. Finally, the boss confirmed Henry faces two months out.

As you would expect, this news has frustrated Brentford supporters, with many feeling the club are suffering for not improving the squad in the January transfer window.

Here we look at some of the reaction from Twitter…

No left back for 2 months, no striker available. It’s almost as if we were all right when we said not to loan out Thompson or Halil, it’s almost as if we were right when we said we needed more players. Phil Giles has cost us the season.
