Bees trio set to return to full training

Brentford’s Sam Saunders is set return to full training in the coming days along with Tommy Smith and Nico Yennaris.

Popular playmaker Saunders has been struggling with a long-term knee problem and has not made a first-team appearance since January.

Forward Smith has been nursing a hamstring injury and has not played since the League Cup defeat against Fulham on 26 August.

And full-back Yennaris, who has been recovering from a thigh problem, has featured only once since his summer move from Arsenal and that was in the Capital One Cup against Dagenham & Redbridge.

Bees boss Mark Warburton told West London Sport: “These guys have been recovering well after varying injuries.

“They will return to training with the other boys this week and will hopefully be in contention to play against Wigan.”
