The Brentford team news for Sunday’s clash against Leeds United at Elland Road.

Uncertainty surrounds the availability of a £40m new star for Brentford for Sunday’s Premier League clash against Leeds United at Elland Road.

Brentford have enjoyed a fine start to the new season, an opening weekend 3-0 win at home to Tottenham Hotspur followed by a 6-1 demolition of hosts Birmingham City in the Carabao Cup.

Ahead of Sunday’s Premier League clash at Leeds, the club then announced the signing of Senegal international left back El Hadji Malick Diouf on Friday, the defender joining the Bees from West Ham for £40m.

Brentford announced the arrival of Diouf on Friday morning but boss Keith Andrews said at his pre-match press conference that he was unsure if the 21-year-old would be registered in time for Sunday’s 2pm kick-off at Elland Road.

Andrews, though, reported no new injuries for his team, Sepp van den Berg (groin) and Antoni Milambo (knee) remaining the only absentees.

Diouf would need to have been registered by 12 noon on Friday to feature.

Hailing the arrival of Diouf, Andrews said: “He has attributes we really like. He fits what we are about, and he comes into an already competitive squad. He adds to a strong area of the pitch. His ceiling is really, really high. We feel there’s huge growth and development in his game.”
