Brentford boss Thomas Frank has confirmed that key defender Ethan Pinnock will not be available to face Leeds United on the final day of the Premier League season. The Whites do not yet know whether they will go into the fixture with their fate in their own hands but with the table as it is at the moment, they may well need at least a point in west London, unless Burnley lose both their remaining fixtures.
Pinnock picked up a hamstring injury in April, as the Bees won 2-1 at Watford. Frank said that the centre-back would not be 'rushed' back. However, the Danish manager is taking the fixture very seriously, despite hopes from Whites fans that his side would be 'on the beach' for their final game.
Following his side's win over Everton last weekend, Frank said: "We will put our very best team out there - it's so important to understand we need to do our very best to win.
