Brentford injury news & Mikkel Damsgaard update ahead of Aston Villa clash in Premier League Gameweek 2

The Bees will be eager to return to winning ways after a 3-1 defeat in their Premier League opener.

Following the exit of Thomas Frank, Brentford turned to Keith Andrews as their new manager. But his stint as their head coach has already begun with a defeat, putting the Irishman’s job under scrutiny.

At the start of the new Premier League season, the Bees under Andrews suffered their first loss in the opening game of the campaign against Nottingham Forest.

Ahead of the game, he has provided a timely injury update as many key players have returned to training and should be fit enough for the selection against Aston Villa tomorrow.
