Brentford will be without five senior players for the Premier League clash against Liverpool on Saturday, while two fringe members of the squad are also ruled out.

The Bees head into the game on the back of Wednesday’s 2-2 draw against Manchester City, when Brentford came from two goals down to secure a point.

Liverpool has scored more goals than any other sides in the Premier League this season with Brentford also one of just five top-flight teams on 40+ goals.

Speaking ahead of the eagerly anticipated match, Frank said he expects to have the same squad available to face Liverpool as he had at his disposal against City.

“It's the same squad as Tuesday,” the Dane revealed ahead of the match.

Ryan Trevitt and Gustavo Nunes, who between them have played one Premier League match this season, are also unavailable.

Asked about the busy week of action, Frank added: “We train hard with high intensity every session..

The whole group were in on Wednesday to recover; on Thursday it was a light session with some tactical bits, preparing for Liverpool; Friday will be light as well, with the squad hopefully feeling fresh and ready to go for Saturday.”
