Yoane Wissa returned to Brentford training after publicly expressing a desire to leave, but manager Keith Andrews omitted him from the matchday squad after the 1-0 victory over Aston Villa, calling that omission the right decision for the group. Supermodel Claudia Schiffer attended the match with husband Matthew Vaughn and visited the home dressing room to greet players. England manager Thomas Tuchel watched from the stands to observe Jordan Henderson, Tyrone Mings, Morgan Rogers and Ollie Watkins. Jordan Henderson received a standing ovation after being substituted and expressed hopes to play more in the Premier League. Andrews remarked on the club's growth and appeal to visitors.
Wissa returned to training with the Brentford squad this week having previously expressed his desire to move on. However, Brentford boss Keith Andrews said after his side's 1-0 win over Villa it was "the right decision for the group" not to include Wissa in Saturday's matchday squad. He missed the chance to meet supermodel and actress Schiffer, who attended the game with her Brentford investor and filmmaker husband Matthew Vaughn.
England manager Tuchel, 51, took in the chance to see Henderson in action along with Tyrone Mings, Morgan Rogers and Ollie Watkins. Henderson, who was given a shock recall by the Three Lions boss last March, was a steady presence in midfield for Brentford. The 35-year-old left the pitch to a standing ovation from the home supporters when he was substituted in the 68th minute.
"We all said 'hello' before the game," Bees midfielder Jordan Henderson told BBC Match Of The Day. "Hopefully she comes to the next one as well if we get the three points." "It was nice to be back," Henderson added. "The Premier League is the best in the world and hopefully I can play a few more."
