“Some players got some minutes: Jordan [Henderson], Vitaly [Janelt], Aaron Hickey. "We’re confident we can play well in these last two games. We’ve got more options to come off the bench and impact it, but we’ll have to play really well to get the points needed.

” Full-back Rico Henry hasn’t appeared since March due to a hamstring injury. “He’s still training to a point,” Andrews revealed. “Coming back, naturally, you’re in and out of sessions to get back up to the level.

I don’t think Rico will be involved this week or next. ” Fábio Carvalho and Antoni Milambo remain sidelined due to ACL injuries. Asked about Brentford’s European ambitions, Andrews said: “We’ve got six points maximum to play for.
