Former Newcastle striker joins Brentford

“We’ve had news following Ben Strevens’ injury on Saturday it appears he has broken his fibula,” said Manager Andy Scott.

“It’s a big blow to us given his form, the level of fitness he was at, and the way he had settled into the group pre-season.

“But now we need to make sure his recovery is spot on so that he can return as quickly as possible and in the meantime we need to find players to strengthen the squad in areas where we already have a couple of injuries.”
