Brentford head coach Thomas Frank has confirmed that the Bees have no fresh injury concerns ahead of Saturday’s game against Chelsea.

The Bees boss provided an update on Ben Mee, Shandon Baptiste, Josh Dasilva, Mikkel Damsgaard and Keane Lewis-Potter, who have all been absent in recent weeks.

“Available players, compared to last week, will be the same,” Frank began.

“Then of course I can choose to pick another line-up, although we played a very good game [against Burnley].

“Ben Mee is definitely getting closer. He is in full training and got some valuable minutes with the B team on Wednesday night, so he’s in a good place now.”

Frank added: “Shandon has been training with the team this week and is going in the right direction, so that’s very positive.

“Josh is on the grass, on one-to-one. [Damsgaard] is progressing in the gym as he should do. It’s not a muscle injury, so he can get on to the grass and then the team quicker [than Dasilva].

“Keane [calf] will have another scan next week. He will hopefully train on the grass in a week’s time.”

Brentford have been victorious on their last two visits to Stamford Bridge, but Frank insisted that the Bees are very much the underdogs on Saturday against a side that have taken seven points from their last three Premier League fixtures.

“Chelsea look really promising,” he said. “The players they have are very high quality. The talent and potential in the squad is extremely exciting. I can see the team competing in two years’ time or maybe earlier, depending on how the development goes.

“In the midfield, [Moisés] Caicedo and Enzo [Fernández] are two fantastic players. And don’t forget [Conor] Gallagher is a Chelsea player who is doing very, very well.

“Up front, [Raheem] Sterling is probably in his best age and is getting back to his high, high level. He has been the most dangerous player for Chelsea this season.

“[Nicolas] Jackson is young and exciting. [Mykhailo] Mudryk, fantastic player. Cole Palmer, fantastic player. Going forward there is so much potential and so much strength. It’s a very good team we’re playing.”
