Kevin Schade injury concern as Andrews explains double Brentford change

A Kevin Schade injury has given Brentford a fitness concern after Keith Andrews confirmed the forward hurt his shoulder during Saturday’s 2-2 draw at Aston Villa.

Schade was replaced by Mamadou Sangaré in the 52nd minute, shortly after Jannik Schuster had gone off at half-time with an ankle issue.

Andrews could not immediately confirm the extent of Schade’s problem.

Kevin Schade injury: what Andrews said

“Just a shoulder injury,” Andrews said in an update published on Brentford’s official website. “I’m not totally sure how he is.”

The post-match update did not provide a recovery timetable for either player.

Schuster had carried a knock into the fixture, with Andrews explaining that the defender’s movement had concerned him during Friday’s training session and again in the warm-up.

A further ankle incident prompted the decision to withdraw him at the interval.
