Brentford vs. Everton injury update: 8 out, 4 doubts
Everton will play Brentford in the Premier League this weekend.
Everton head to London this weekend to face Thomas Frank’s Brentford, seeking to turn around their terrible start to the Premier League season. The Toffees have already lost four games this season and have had tremendously painful afternoons at Goodison Park in close losses to Fulham and Wolves.
The last time they played, they were overpowered by high-flying Arsenal, who won by a solitary goal, but Sean Dyche’s side were ineffective in attack, with only one shot on target. They now face a Brentford side that has lost their previous three league games and has only won once this season, giving them hope of a result on Saturday evening.
In terms of injuries, Dyche is on the verge of having a fully fit squad, but there are some reservations. Here’s the most recent team news from both sides.
1. Doubt – Jack Harrison
Dyche stated Harrison would not be starting this weekend, but suggested he may be on the bench after rejoining the team for training.
2. Out – Andre Gomes
The midfielder has not played this season because of a calf injury. Dyche said that he is not yet fit to play.
3. Out – Seamus Coleman
The Everton captain is back on the training pitch, but he is simply running and regaining strength after a protracted layoff since May.
