Andrews on team fitness, 'electric' home atmosphere and Sunderland

Brentford boss Keith Andrews has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League game against Sunderland at Gtech Community Stadium (kick-off 15:00 BST). Here are the key lines from his news conference: Midfielder Mathias Jensen remains sidelined with "a little issue" and could miss next week's trip to Bournemouth too. Andrews said: "We'll see how he settles over the next couple of weeks. It's nothing serious, but he certainly won't be available for tomorrow." Josh Dasilva, Sepp van den Berg and Antoni Milambo are also unavailable. Andrews said he is "really, really pleased" with Brentford's summer transfer business and praised the "astuteness" of the club to get the new players in early doors. On record signing Mamadou Sangare: "It didn't take a genius to realise he's a very good player, but for us to get the deal done was impressive. For that to happen he had to want to come here and he made that very clear from our initial conversations." He said the "team feel good" and "are in a good place", so "are ready for the challenge" of Sunderland. More on Saturday's opposition: "What they did last season was pretty remarkable. The coach organises them very diligently and they can cause you problems in different ways. We will have to do a lot of things really well to get the result." He said the "fans were electric" against Tottenham in the opening game of the season "right from the off" and the players fed off it. He hopes for more of the same on Saturday.
