Brentford issue Bryan Mbeumo, Yoane Wissa and Ethan Pinnock injury updates ahead of Everton trip

Brentford manager Thomas Frank has confirmed Bryan Mbeumo, Yoane Wissa and Ethan Pinnock are all available for selection to face Everton.

The three players all picked up knocks prior to the international break, but have shaken off any fitness concerns, but will make the trip to Goodison Park.

“All of them I expect to be available and ready,” said Frank. “All three situations are different minor issues.

“It’s a little bit similar to the last international break when [Mikkel] Damsgaard and [Christian] Norgaard were called up for Denmark and did not travel but managed to be ready for the next game.

“Sometimes a week’s rest can make all the difference, so I expect them to be ready. We’re very thankful for the cooperation from the three national teams.”

The news comes as a major boost to the West London club, with Mbeumo and Pinnock starting all 11 of their Premier League games this season, and Mbeumo and Wissa scoring a combined 15 of their 22 goals to date.

Their presence also eases the injury issues Brentford have been dealing with. Josh DaSilva, Rico Henry and Aaron Hickey are all still absent with long-term injuries.

Club-record signing Igor Thiago and Gustavo Nunes, who both joined in the summer, are also both still continuing recovery from their respective injuries, which have prevented them from making their debuts.
