Forest face the Bees away in the Premier League on Saturday (3pm)

Brentford have been boosted on the injury front ahead of facing Nottingham Forest.

Forest face the Bees away in the Premier League on Saturday (3pm) and boss Keith Andrews has given a positive update on Josh Dasilva and Kaye Furo.

Both players have been sidelined with injuries so far this season, Dasilva being ruled out with a hamstring injury and Furo a metatarsal problem.

“Kaye is doing really well. He’s been out of his boot for about a week to 10 days. He’s not on the grass yet but is making really good progress and is in good spirits,” said Andrews, speaking ahead of Brentford’s Carabao Cup tie against Sunderland on Wednesday night..

“Josh was involved with the Saturday session before the Hull game. He’s building, was involved in a bigger session in midweek last week and is making really good strides.”

Andrews also revealed that Mikkel Damsgaard has been playing through pain in his right foot in recent weeks.

“We’ve had to be careful with him. He evaded a pretty naughty tackle (on international duty) and we were pretty worried that that might be quite significant,” he added.

“He did well to avoid a serious injury, but he has had some pain, so we’ve had to tread carefully with how much he’s trained and how much contact he can have.

“Because it was right foot, he was still feeling it, but coming into the Hull game he started to be a little bit more pain free. He’s in a better place now but he’s obviously had a pretty disrupted last few weeks. He’s good to go.”

Andrews also confirmed Rico Henry will be out for a "period of weeks" after suffering a hip and quad injury

“Rico is going to be out for a period of weeks, probably until after the international break. It’s really unfortunate for him. He’s working hard to get back up to speed,” he said.
