Mee received the Player of the Year award from the Brentford fans back in May, but has only played in three of the team’s eleven games so far this season owing to calf injuries in the early going and a muscular strain more recently.
Thomas Frank observed on Friday in the afternoon, “Ben Mee is getting closer so that is a positive.” He might be a candidate for selection.
A fortnight ago, Frank had confirmed: “That was a muscle injury [sustained] a couple of weeks ago. He is progressing fine, so he is probably the closest of them [to returning].”
Elsewhere, goalkeeper Mark Flekken has recovered from appendicitis and is in line to start at the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday.
And Frank added: “Shandon Baptiste and Myles Peart-Harris have part-trained with the team. Josh Dasilva is on the grass, which is also positive. Mikkel Damsgaard is progressing very well after his minor [keyhole] knee surgery.
“Keane Lewis-Potter is progressing quite well. I don’t know the exact timeframe but it’s not as long as I feared.”
Brentford finished ninth last season but are currently 15th and winless in eight matches in all competitions since August’s 3-0 league victory at Fulham.
