Brentford manager Keith Andrews has explained the reason for Caoimhín Kelleher's absence after the goalkeeper was left out of the starting line-up for the Bees trip to Burnley.

The Republic of Ireland goalkeeper has been ever-present this season since joining from Liverpool over the summer. However, thankfully for Brentford, the 27-year-old’s absence is not injury-related and instead a result of his partner giving birth.
