Bostock: Ineligible for Brentford
Brentford will be without John Bostock for their home game against Southampton on Tuesday night.
The Tottenham midfielder's latest loan deal at Griffin Park expired after Saturday's 1-0 defeat at Norwich - during which he was an unused substitute.
Boss Andy Scott otherwise has a virtually full-strength squad to choose from, with goalkeeper Nikki Bull the only injury absentee as he continues his recovery from shoulder surgery.
Southampton manager Alan Pardew could welcome back Morgan Schneiderlin, Jose Fonte, Dan Seaborne and Jon Otsemobor.
Schneiderlin has had the three-match ban he received for his recent red card against MK Dons reduced to one game and, having missed Saturday's FA Cup win over Ipswich, is available at Griffin Park.
Defenders Fonte, Seaborne and Otsemobor were all cup-tied at the weekend and will come back into contention.
Midfielder Dean Hammond is set to miss out again with an Achilles injury and striker David Connolly remains a doubt with groin trouble.
