Bees midfielder Macleod’s injury woes continue

Brentford midfielder Lewis Macleod faces several more weeks on the sidelines after picking up another injury.

The 21-year-old has been plagued by hamstring trouble and has played just eight minutes of first-team football for the Bees since signing from Rangers in January last year.

And Maxime Colin, who also missed Tuesday’s 3-0 victory at home to Wolves, will be assessed later this week.

Head coach Dean Smith confirmed: “Lewis got injured in training and he’s going to be out for a few weeks.

“We also need to assess Maxime Colin. He’s been playing through groin and abdominal pain but it got too much after the Derby game.”
