Brentford vs Barnet - Brentford waiting on Rico Henry

Posted Tuesday, February 05, 2019 by PA

Rico Henry is a doubt for Brentford’s FA Cup fourth-round replay with non-league Barnet on Tuesday night.

The left-back will be assessed after an injury forced him off at half-time during Saturday’s 5-2 win over Blackburn.

Manager Thomas Frank made five changes for the initial 3-3 thriller at Barnet but may be tempted to field a stronger side with a potential fifth-round trip to Swansea in the offing.

Emiliano Marcondes (ankle) and Lewis Macleod (hamstring) are missing while Sergi Canos, who scored in the first meeting, will be keen for a recall having netted from the bench at the weekend.

Barnet make the journey across London having again drawn 3-3 in their FA Trophy meeting with Carlshalton.

Darren Currie was not happy with his side’s second-half performance but has backed his players to perform on the big stage again this week.

Barnet have never reached round five of the FA Cup but will be buoyed by the form of striker Shaquile Coulthirst, the former Tottenham youngster having scored four times in his last two games.

Currie has no new fitness worries as he looks to make history for the club on Tuesday with victory over their Sky Bet Championship opponents.
