Bryan Mbeumo’s latest injury as Brentford issue updates on Yoane Wissa and Ethan Pinnock ahead of Everton trip

Brentford manager Thomas Frank has confirmed that Bryan Mbeumo, Yoane Wissa and Ethan Pinnock are all available for selection to face Everton.

All three players suffered knocks before the international break but have overcome any fitness issues and will make the trip to Goodison Park.

“I expect them all to be available and ready,” Frank said. “The three situations are different minor issues.

“It’s a bit similar to the last international break when [Mikkel] Damsgaard and [Christian] Norgaard was called up for Denmark and did not travel but managed to be ready for the next match.

“Sometimes a week off can make all the difference, so I expect them to be ready. We are very grateful for the cooperation of the three national teams.

The news comes as a major boost for the west London club, with Mbeumo and Pinnock starting all 11 of their Premier League games this season, and Mbeumo and Wissa scoring a combined 15 of their 22 goals to date.

Their presence also alleviates the injury problems Brentford face. Josh DaSilva, Rico Henry and Aaron Hickey are all still out with long-term injuries.

Club records Igor Thiago and Gustavo Nunes, both of whom arrived in the summer, also continue to recover from their respective injuries, which prevented them from making their debuts.
