Brentford are easing him back carefully, with plans for a B-team appearance before a return to first-team action.

Fellow full-back Rico Henry is also nearing full training after recovering from his own hamstring issue.

Hickey initially underwent surgery in late 2023 but suffered a setback in August 2024, requiring a second operation.

His return is a significant boost for manager Thomas Frank as Brentford look to strengthen their squad depth.
