Onyeka ruled out of West Ham clash

Brentford manager, Thomas Frank, has confirmed midfielder Frank Onyeka will play no part in the Bees Premier League clash against West Ham on Sunday (today).

Frank revealed that the Nigerian who was part of the Super Eagles squad that failed to qualify for the 2022 World Cup finals in Qatar after they lost to Ghana on the away goals rule, suffered an ankle ligament injury while on international duty.

“Frank (Onyeka) picked up a minor ankle injury away with Nigeria – it is a ligament inside the foot,” Frank told the club’s official website.

“I don’t know the exact timeframe but it will at least be a couple of weeks.

Onyeka who joined Brentford for £9m from Midtjylland has so far managed 24 appearances.

Brentford is currently sitting 15th on the 20-team table with 33 points from 31 matches.

They have managed nine wins, six draws and 16 defeats.
