Brentford head coach Thomas Frank has confirmed that Josh Dasilva will be in the squad for the Bees' FA Cup fixture against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The midfielder has been out with a hamstring injury since the 3-0 win over west London rivals Fulham at the end of August, but Frank has stated that the 25-year-old will be back for the cup clash on Friday night.

When asked about injuries ahead of the match at Gtech Community Stadium, he said: "Since the last game against Crystal Palace, the same players will be available from then.  

“The good news is that Josh Dasilva is ready to be in the squad, so that's positive.” 

Frank added: “Josh is a fantastic team player, whether he is starting or he is coming on. He's got that ability to score, make assists or make decisive actions offensively. 

“He’s been a big miss that we have not had for basically the whole first half of the season.” 

The Bees have only ever reached the quarter-final of the domestic competition - most recently in 1988/89 - but the head coach said, this season, he has "a big ambition" to progress with a win over Wolves.

"I've always followed the FA Cup, without watching every single FA Cup final," Frank recalls.

"As I said before, I think it's the most iconic cup tournament in the world and, unfortunately, Brentford haven't had the best FA Cup run recently.

"It's not because we don't want to progress or we don't want to go very far. So I definitely have a big ambition to go on a bit of a cup run."
