Brentford consider changes for Stoke visit

Brentford boss Thomas Frank is open to making changes ahead of his side’s encounter with Stoke at Griffin Park.

Frank is yet to adjust his starting XI since their victory over Derby nearly three weeks ago.

However, with the Bees having only claimed two wins from seven games this season, he has now said his squad will need to fight to keep hold of their places.

Only Danish defenders Mads Bech Sorensen and Luka Racic are unavailable, with both players just shy of match fitness after recovering from injuries.

Stoke are yet to win a game this season and sit bottom of the Championship.

Manager Nathan Jones is without Ryan Shawcross and the suspended Joe Allen.

Nick Powell has not played since the opening game of the season but is approaching match fitness.

Cameron Carter-Vickers has missed a handful of training sessions due to illness but is available having recovered and returned to training.
