Injury-hit Brentford without Marco Djuricin for Nottingham Forest meeting

Marco Djuricin is the latest addition to Brentford's casualty list ahead of the clash with Nottingham Forest.

The Austrian striker, who has scored four goals this season, suffered an ankle injury during the 1-1 draw at Blackburn a fortnight ago and could be ruled out until the new year.

Maxime Colin, Andreas Bjelland, Scott Hogan (all knee), Lewis Macleod (hamstring) and Jota (ankle) are all still sidelined.

But former Chelsea midfielder Josh McEachran is close to making his Bees debut after suffering a broken foot in pre-season training.

Forest could have Michael Mancienne (knee) and Robert Tesche (foot) back from injury, with Mancienne in particular thought to be close to a return.

Fellow midfielder Kyle Ebecilio is also fit again after recovering from a hamstring injury, although his situation may be complicated by the fact that only five loan players are allowed in the matchday squad.

Ryan Mendes has clocked up the miles recently while on international duty with Cape Verde and Reds boss Dougie Freedman may check on the winger.

Midfielder Liam Trotter remains available after extending his loan spell from Championship rivals Bolton.
