Simpson a doubt for Brentford's Wembley final

Brentford's Robbie Simpson faces a race against time to be fit for the Johnstone's Paint Trophy Final on April 3.

The Huddersfield loanee received an unwelcome early birthday present yesterday when he injured his ankle in training, forcing the striker out of tonight's home match against his parent club.

Simpson, 26 today, is the latest injury concern ahead of the clash against Carlisle at Wembley with fellow striker Charlie MacDonald and midfielder Sam Saunders already sidelined by ankle injuries.

Nicky Forster's side are 14th in League One, 10 points off the relegation zone.
