Betinho backed to boost Bees

Brentford hope to add Portuguese forward Betinho to their squad for the visit of Norwich.

Boss Mark Warburton signed the 21-year-old on transfer deadline day to replace Scott Hogan, who suffered a serious knee injury which has all but ended his season.

But Betinho was unable to feature in Saturday's 3-2 win over Brighton as the Bees were still awaiting international clearance, which they hope will come through in time for Tuesday's clash.

Stuart Dallas shrugged off a thigh injury to come on as a second-half substitute at the weekend so he should be involved again, but fellow wideman Sam Saunders is still recovering from a knee injury.

Norwich will assess captain Russell Martin ahead of the trip.

The Scotland defender has a back injury, which he sustained during Saturday's 4-2 win at Cardiff, but is expected to feature.

Striker Cameron Jerome will be pushing for a start after coming off the bench at half-time and playing a pivotal part in the fightback in south Wales, scoring the fourth goal late on.

Fellow forward Gary Hooper (dead leg) and midfielder Jonny Howson (knee) will be missing once again but are nearing returns.
