Brentford head coach Thomas Frank has confirmed Frank Onyeka is available for the Bees Premier League clash against Liverpool.
Onyeka was close to bringing an African Cup of Nations winner’s medal back to West London with the midfielder’s Nigeria falling at the final hurdle against hosts Ivory Coast.
Onyeka started all seven of Nigeria’s games – accumulating a total of 608 minutes – and made more tackles (14) and interceptions (11) than any player at the tournament.
“They’ve been important and good for us, so it’s good to have them in training,” Frank told the club’s official website.
“They’ve come back with energy having had, in many, many ways, fantastic experiences.
“Unfortunately, they finished second and fourth rather than first and third, but we are very proud of them and what they achieved.”
