BRENTFORD boss Thomas Frank confirmed that star striker Ivan Toney will start against Cherries.
Gary O’Neil’s charges travel to London to face the Bees in the Premier League tomorrow (5.30pm), with the two sides in contrasting form.
Cherries are yet to win a game since returning from the break, whilst Brentford have picked up seven points from their three league fixtures.
Toney missed the Bees’ impressive 3-1 win over Liverpool, his last appearance against West Ham on Friday, December 30. The striker has 12 goals in 16 appearances this term.
Asked about his star, Frank commented: “Ivan is fit and available and will start tomorrow.”
“So, I just named one out of 11,” quipped the Dane before detailing those who will be missing for the Bees.
“(Shandon) Baptiste is in a good place,” he restarted.
“He’s trained fully for a week and will hopefully be ready for selection soon.
“(Aaron) Hickey is also training fully and will play for the B team tonight (Friday). He’s progressing, but he’s not ready for tomorrow.
“(Frank) Onyeka is still a few weeks from potentially being involved in the squad.
“Pontus Jansson is progressing but unfortunately he’s not available yet.”
