Brentford boss Thomas Frank says defender Ethan Pinnock is fit to face Aston Villa on Saturday.

Centre-half Pinnock limped off during the latter stages of Tuesday night's 3-1 Carabao Cup win over Forest Green with an ankle problem.

The 28-year-old was one of only two players to stay in the team following last weekend's goalless draw at Crystal Palace as Frank rotated his squad against the Sky Bet League Two side.

It was a sentimental decision as Pinnock captained the Bees against the club he helped to promotion to the Football League in 2017, and one that looked like it might have backfired.

However, Frank said: “Ethan is fine. He had contact to the same ankle as last Saturday against Crystal Palace, so he will play against Villa."

The Bees lost another defender, Mads Bech Sorensen, to a knee injury in the first half and Frank added: “Mads Bech we need to assess and see how serious it is."
