JON TORAL and Tommy Smith could return to the starting XI as Brentford look to get their play-off bid back on track against second-placed Bournemouth on Saturday.

After days of speculation, club owner Matthew Benham confirmed boss Mark Warburton will leave the club at the end of the season, due to a difference in philosophies and vision for the West London club.

Warburton guided the Bees to promotion from League One last season, before turning them into genuine contenders for a place in the Premier League this year.

Speculation hasn’t help results and Brentford have slipped to consecutive defeats and slipped out of the play-off positions, including last week’s 3-0 loss at Charlton.

Bournemouth won the reverse fixture 1-0 at Dean Court back in August, thanks to a Junior Stanislas goal.

Brentford will look to extend Chris Long’s loan deal from Everton ahead of the weekend.

The England U20 international joined the Bees on a one-month loan last month but has not registered a goal in two appearances at Griffin Park.

Mark Warburton has not ruled out a move for Leicester City defender Liam Moore.

The former England U21 international spent a seven-game spell on loan with the Bees two years ago but has struggled to break into the Foxes first-team this season.
