 Brentford manager Thomas Frank has confirmed that Bryan Mbeumo is fit and will start the game against Tottenham this weekend. The Bees get their Premier League campaign underway on Sunday against Spurs at the Gtech Community Stadium and the Cameroon international was a doubt. The 24-year-old suffered a dead leg in Brentford's final pre-season game against Lille, but Frank confirmed that he has recovered and will be involved on Sunday. There was also positive news for the trio of Rico Henry, Christian Norgaard and Josh Dasilva, all of whom are fit and in contention to play in the London derby. Bees fans will also be looking forward to seeing new signings Mark Flekken, Nathan Collins and Kavin Schade in action for the first time in a competitive fixture After a strong finish to the last Premier League campaign, which saw Brentford win their final three league games, it has been an underwhelming summer in terms of results as the Bees haven't won a single friendly. Three draws and two defeats have come from their five friendlies, but that will be of no consequence if they can perform and get a good result against Spurs on Sunday. There will be more pressure on the likes of Mbeumo to perform this season as Ivan Toney has been banned until January for a string of betting offences. On the situation, Frank said: 'The players that will step in for Ivan, played the last four games without him. 'I have big confidence that [Yoane] Wissa, Kevin Schade, and Bryan Mbuemo could step in and score goals. I also want other players to step up and score goals.'
