The centre-back is still struggling with a hamstring injury and will stay on the sidelines with midfielder Christian Norgaard (Achilles).

Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi has no fresh injury concerns for the trip.

Enock Mwepu is unavailable for the Seagulls following his sudden retirement with a hereditary heart condition.

Jakub Moder remains sidelined as he recovers from a long-term knee injury.

Brentford provisional squad: Raya, Hickey, Ajer, Mee, Henry, Janelt, Jansen, Baptiste, Mbeumo, Toney, Damsgaard, Cox, Jorgensen, Pinnock, Roerslev, Onyeka, Dasilva, Ghoddos, Canos, Wissa, Lewis-Potter, Trevett.
