Brentford vs Brighton injury news as three ruled out for Friday night fixture

Albion travel to West London without a win in De Zerbi’s first two games in charge, having lost 1-0 to Tottenham last weekend and drawing 3-3 with Liverpool in the Italian’s first game.

Despite no injury problems, De Zerbi has lost midfielder Enock Mwepu from his squad, after the 24-year-old was forced to announce his retirement this week due to a heart condition.

Jakub Moder is also still side-lined with a long-term knee injury.

Brentford, who have only won one of their last seven games, will be without the trio of Pontus Jansson (hamstring), Christian Norgaard (Achilles) and Keane Lewis-Potter (ankle/foot).
