Brentford are riding high in seventh in the Premier League, after a strong start to the season that has seen them lose only one of their last nine games.

Thomas Frank’s side is probably the only team who did not like the timing of the latest international break, as they had momentum behind them.

Congolese Yoane Wissa scored with the last kick of the game to give the Bees all three points against West Ham at the London Stadium.

And they will hope that having 16 players away on international duty won’t disrupt their momentum when they face Chelsea next week.

The Bees’ international stars could be affected by travelling long distance and returning jet lagged.

So here are all the players Brentford have out on international duty.
