Bees cautious with MacDonald

06 May 2011 13:30
Charlie MacDonald will not be risked against Huddersfield despite Brentford's injury problems. The 10-goal striker has been sidelined for two months after damaging ankle ligaments against Brighton in March. MacDonald returned to full training on Wednesday but boss Nicky Forster has still ruled him out of the trip north. Gary Alexander is out with a knee injury so Lewis Grabban and Jeffrey Schlupp, Forster's only two fit strikers, will be paired up front again. Craig Woodman (metatarsal) and Pim Balkestein (ankle) are set to miss out again but fellow defender Leon Legge could return after a groin injury. Youngster Simon Moore continues in goal with regular number one Richard Lee still on the sidelines with a shoulder injury.
