Brentford manager confirms Nigerian-eligible forward in squad to face Chelsea
Posted : 26 April 2023
In preparation for Brentford's upcoming match against Chelsea, manager Thomas Frank has confirmed that Kevin Schade, a forward who is eligible to play for the Nigerian national team, will be included in the matchday squad.
Despite concerns over a potential injury during his previous game against Aston Villa, Schade was simply substituted due to fatigue and was actually commended for his outstanding performance during the match.
Since joining Brentford from SC Freiburg during the January transfer window, Schade has been included in every matchday squad named by Frank, totaling to fourteen.
The club has been gradually introducing Schade to the demands of the Premier League and Frank is pleased with his progress.
Frank has stated that Schade will be available for the game against Chelsea, saying that "it was cramp, just fatigue."
He also commended Schade's recent performance as his best in a Brentford shirt so far.
According to the manager, the coaching staff knew that they would have to develop Schade's ability to play with even higher intensity as he has not played much senior football in his career.
In addition to Schade's inclusion, it is highly likely that Frank Onyeka will be named in the starting lineup for Brentford against Chelsea.
Christian Norgaard, who Onyeka replaced at halftime during the Aston Villa game, will not be able to play due to an Achilles problem.
