Brentford vs Man Utd early injury news as 3 ruled out, 1 doubt and 1 suspended

Brentford are back in action on Saturday when they take on Manchester United at home in their search for a second win for the season. The Bees were defeated by Fulham last time out, leading to an admission of disappointment from boss Keith Andrews.

He said after the game: “I’m bitterly disappointed. I know what this game means to the fans. We started the game well. The approach from the players, around the game and the occasion, was outstanding. We took the lead, and then the manner of their two goals, and the timing of them, was really disappointing. We need to learn from this as a group. It’s a young squad and we need to analyse that period.”

Man Utd will be a tricky task, and the Red Devils will be full of confidence after their win over Chelsea last weekend. This game will also see Bryan Mbeumo return to West London, and it will be interesting to see the reception he gets given how he pushed for a move in the summer.

Here we take a look at the latest injury news surrounding both teams heading into this one.

Casemiro - Out (Suspended)

Casemiro is suspended for this one after receiving two yellow cards and a red last time out. Amorim said of the red card: "We won, so I will forget a little bit, and he will suffer because he's a top professional. He understands what he did. He is experienced enough that that play should not be played like that. He cares too much."

Lisandro Martinez - Out

Martinez suffered a serious knee injury back in the winter and he is going to remain out until late October or November.

Diogo Dalot - Doubt

Dalot is a doubt. He was ruled out of the Chelsea clash with the injury he suffered during the last international break. Until we get a fresh update from Ruben Amorim, he will remain a doubt.

Edmond-Paris Maghoma - Out

Maghoma is back in training, with Keith Andrews having said last week: “Paris is still building fitness as he recovers from a hamstring injury.” He is not expected back just yet.

Gustavo Nunes - Out

Nunes is also working his way back to full fitness before being played. Andrews said last week: “Gustavo will return to team training next week. The forward will be monitored over the coming weeks, having missed a block of pre-season.” This one will likely come too soon.
