Aiming return after break Hickey (hamstring) suffered an injury during the defeat against Brighton and will hope to return after the March international break, the club announced.

Impact Hickey picked up a hamstring injury in the loss to the Seagulls and is set to miss several weeks, with his return timeline targeting after the March international break. That said, his absence is not a major blow for the Bees, as he was projected to slot in as a depth piece behind Michael Kayode at best once Kayode is fully fit.

Impact Hickey picked up a small knock to his knee ahead of the clash against Greece while on international duty with Scotland and ultimately started and played almost one hour in the victory. That said, the Brentford defender was forced off injured and appeared to have aggravated the same knee issue, which is bad news for the Bees since he started the last two games at left-back.

Impact Hickey was back on the field this preseason after he returned to the playing field to end last season from a long absence due to a hamstring injury. He hasn't played in a real match in over a year and will now hope to reclaim that spot he held in the previous seasons, as he started in 23 of his 26 appearances to start life with the club.
