Brentford vs Rotherham United - Harlee Dean banned for Brentford

Posted Thursday, February 23, 2017 by PA

Brentford skipper Harlee Dean is suspended for the visit of Rotherham.

The centre-half scored the second goal in Tuesday night's 2-1 win at Sheffield Wednesday but also collected a 10th booking of the season and starts a two-match ban.

Midfielder Josh McEachran is a major doubt after going off with an ankle injury at Hillsborough.

Lasse Vibe could miss out again with a thigh strain and fellow forward Philipp Hofmann is still struggling with a back problem.

Rotherham will have on-loan duo Tom Adeyemi and Semi Ajayi back after they missed last week's chastening 5-0 defeat at their parent club Cardiff.

Millers boss Paul Warne is also hoping to call on striker Danny Ward after a calf complaint and Lee Frecklington after an ankle operation.

Defender Darnell Fisher limped out of a reserve outing in midweek, which was supposed to build his fitness following a hamstring injury, and he will be monitored.

Kirk Broadfoot (back), Lee Camp and Jonson Clarke-Harris (both knee) are all long-term absentees while deadline-day signing Carlton Morris is still not at the club following a hamstring injury.
