Brentford handed boost before Hull City clash

Jannik Schuster is back in contention for Brentford’s Premier League trip to Hull City on Sunday after returning to training.

The defender endured a disrupted build-up to the recent Liverpool game after carrying a knock from international duty and then falling ill.

“Jannik just had a bit of a troubled week going into the Liverpool game, really,” Brentford boss Keith Andrews said.

“A bit of a knock from international duty crept up on him during the Villa game, and then he wasn’t particularly well for a few days, so it was just a very disruptive week.

“But he’s been back training the last few days, so he’s back to himself, more or less.”
