The small print said "right back"Amazing news. Welcome back Rico. Bet poor KLP wouldn’t have signed that ten year left back deal yesterday if he’d known though!
If he doesn't bust a gut up and down the line in the first 10 minutes. I will be writing him offIf he can stay fit and injury free, this is practically like a new £50m signing.![]()

It is annoying, but hardly surprising. Lack of airtime or column space about the Bees has always been the case compared to the "bigger" clubs and will no doubt continue to be so unless we do the double one year perhaps. Winning the Premier League only put Leicester briefly in the limelight. Now they're back to being largely anonymous again as far as the press are concerned.Here we have BBC Sport's attempt to fit Brentford in amongst the 7 pages of waffle about City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Spurs and Man Utd. And before they corrected it, the headline originally said "Lewis to start on return from long term knee injury". Couldn't even bother to get the name right
Henry to start on return from long-term knee injury
Brentford v Plymouth (15:00 GMT)
14:47 GMT
Brentford boss Thomas Frank confirmed Rico Henry will start on Saturday for his first appearance since suffering a serious knee injury in September 2023: "Very happy to see him training consistently for quite a good bit. We've been trying to manage him well, and we're looking forward to the game tomorrow."
Henry featured during an in-house friendly at the Bees' training ground on Saturday.
And that's all there is. There was more on Sky; TF mentioned Carvalho, Mee, Thiago and talked about Bryan but we're not important enough to get more than a few lines. re
Really annoys me![]()

It’s not just the bigger clubs tho. Palace got three posts today, Bournemouth got four! BBC Sport is the same every. single. week. So frustrating. Won’t lose sleep tho. Rico, Rico, Rico…It is annoying, but hardly surprising.

I wouldn't worry too much about it. It's just a fact of life, I'm afraid. Anyway, it's often good to be under the radar!It’s not just the bigger clubs tho. Palace got three posts today, Bournemouth got four! BBC Sport is the same every. single. week. So frustrating. Won’t lose sleep tho. Rico, Rico, Rico…
The co-commentator at last weekends match against Southampton said Rico could be back in the team for Plymouth. I just thought he was talking BS! So pleased to be wrong. The best left back in the Premier League is back!!!!It’s to the eternal shame of the media that they are unable to secure as many exclusives as the GPG!!
Let’s just hope he gets through the warm up
Took the words right out of my mouth. Those warm ups have proved lethal!Let’s just hope he gets through the warm up
In fairness to @Banana he called it right ? He has officially redeemed himself as someone that is ITK after the Flekken fiascoBased on absolute rubbish
Rico’s back in January
That is some ask for a guy who has been out for 485 days.So start and 60 minutes against Plymouth, on bench against City, then ready to start against Liverpool to once again have Salah in his pocket.
I'd like a fair representation of all PL clubs (excluding Forest and Fulham of course!), not just those teams with the most money and the biggest stadia. We're in the PL byStill under the radar. Wouldn't have it any other way.
The main purpose of the warm up is the avoidance of injury. The very occasional problem is probably a fact of life but when it happens several times you have to wonder what's going on.Took the words right out of my mouth. Those warm ups have proved lethal!
If you really think we will ever get the same treatment as the bigger clubs in the PL from the media, then you will have a long wait. I have information for you, it's not gonna happen. The sooner you can get used to it the better. As for being under the radar it's all relative. Knowing about our club is one thing but the top 6 are worshipped. Football is not a fair world, hopefully the penny will drop at some point.I'd like a fair representation of all PL clubs (excluding Forest and Fulham of course!), not just those teams with the most money and the biggest stadia.

right, not as a favour from the EFL.
As for being 'still under the radar', I'm pretty sure we're not. Saudi (amongst others) obviously knew about Ivan. Arsenal, Newcastle and now Man Utd are after Bryan.
Borussia Dortmund are after Kevin. We may have been once but definitely not after Ivan's 'no look' penalty and gambling ban. Hard to be under the radar when you're
all over the papers!
Have you ever tried removing sh*t off a shovel? Not as fast as you think!It’s Rico at last
And he’s gonna cause trouble
He’s slick and he’s fast
As the sh*t off a shovel
Apologies for self-indulgence ?
Maybe you need to soak it overnight? I could always try a different simile if you’d prefer?Have you ever tried removing sh*t off a shovel? Not as fast as you think!

Saving it for the game.Just seen on X a picture of Rico arriving at the Gtech. But he’s not smiling, should we be concerned?![]()
Easy with your medical assessment of fully recovered.Probably the only positive for me today was him back and looking like he's fully recovered.
