Sepp van den Berg injury update | OneFootball

Brentford head coach Thomas Frank provided an update on Sepp van den Berg ahead of the Bees’ Premier League game against Leicester City on Friday (8pm kick-off GMT).

The defender, who has made 25 appearances for the club since signing from Liverpool last summer, limped off during the 1-0 win over West Ham United last time out.

“Sepp got a minor knee injury,” Frank revealed.

“It’s good news. You’re always a little bit worried with the knee, but it’s a minor one and we’re talking about weeks instead of months.

“How many weeks, it depends on how quick he is recovering.

“Straight after the game I was hoping it was a minor one, so I’d say it’s as positive as it can be.”

Josh Dasilva (knee), Rico Henry (hamstring), Aaron Hickey (hamstring), Gustavo Nunes (back) and Igor Thiago (joint infection) remain sidelined.

Brentford are seeking a fourth away Premier League win in a row at King Power Stadium - but Frank stressed that the Foxes will pose a tough test on Friday night.

“I think they have been fairly good in the 4-4-2 defensive block and mid-pressure, but they can press high and I expect them to press us tomorrow night,” said Frank.

“Up front, both in the half transitions and transitions, and with their crosses, they are dangerous when they come forward.”

The Bees boss added: “It’s going to be a very difficult game; they will come flying out and it will mean a lot to them to suddenly be out the relegation zone. That would give them a boost and we need to be aware of that.

“We respect them massively, they have got a lot of good players and a good coach, but on the flip side we have to focus on us – what we have done well. We have to trust our own processes, our own structure, and make sure we come with the right mentality and attitude.”
