Keith Andrews says Caoimhín Kelleher facing fitness test ahead of Brentford's Premier League opener but Yoane Wissa left out
Kelleher, who joined Brentford in a £18million deal from Liverpool in June, missed Brentford's 2-2 draw with Borussia Monchengladbach last Friday after picking up a knock in training.
Schade was also absent from Brentford's final pre-season friendly, and Andrews said it would be touch-and-go whether the pair would be ready for Sunday.
Kelleher in particular is popular on Fantasy Premier League, with the Ireland international owned by 17.5% of players.
'Caoimhín and Kevin Schade are back on the grass,' said Andrews.
'Whether they will be absolutely ready we'll see over the next day and a half, then we'll make that decision.
'Overall, we're in a pretty good place on [the injury] front.'
Andrews remained less optimistic about Gustavo Nunes, who suffered a hamstring injury during Brentford's pre-season friendly with Gil Vicente in Portugal.
The Brazilian, who signed from Gremio for a fee in excess of £10m last summer, struggled with injuries in his first year in west London and now looks set for another lengthy period on the sidelines.
Janelt, who underwent surgery on his heel at the end of last season, and Maghoma will also be unavailable.
'There are a couple of ones that definitely won't be available. Gustavo [Nunes], Vitaly [Janelt] is still making his way back, [as is] Paris Maghoma.'
Striker Yoane Wissa also won't be part of Brentford's squad amid speculation around his future.
Wissa has been the subject of interest from Newcastle, and Andrews confirmed the 28-year-old was not in the right headspace to travel with the team.
Wissa missed Brentford's final two pre-season friendlies against QPR and Borussia Monchengladbach, having left the club's pre-season training camp in Portugal.
Brentford are in the market for attacking reinforcements this summer and are exploring moves for Dango Ouattara and Arnaud Kalimuendo before the window closes.
Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola admitted that he was unsure whether Ouattara would feature in the Cherries' opener against Liverpool on Friday night amid interest from Brentford in the winger's services.
'Dango is going to train with us today, he's here,' Iraola said in his pre-match press conference.
'But it's true I don't know what's going to happen. We're going day to day.
'I'll ask the club if he can play tomorrow, if he can travel – we are in this sort of situations, every team will be in these situations with players leaving, players arriving.'

Arne Slot claims Liverpool are the ‘most honest team' in the Premier League and wishes his stars fell over more
Slot took a sly dig at the officials for the Community Shield too 'BIT WEIRD' Arne Slot claims Liverpool are the 'most honest team' in the Premier League and wishes his stars fell over more ARNE SLOT claims his Liverpool team are too 'honest' for their own good — and should embrace football's dark arts. The Anfield chief believes his champions are the fairest team in the Premier League and he sometimes 'blames' them for refusing to go down when fouled. 3 Arne Slot has said his team is too honest Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 3 Slot reckons Cody Gakpo could have made more of a shove in the back in the Community Shield Credit: Getty Slot says referees tell him players will not get free-kicks unless they fall over, as he referenced two incidents from Sunday's Community Shield defeat by Crystal Palace on penalties. One was key as Cody Gakpo was shoved in the back in the build-up to Ismaila Sarr's equaliser for 2-2. Dutchman Slot, whose side host Bournemouth in the Premier League opener on Friday night, said: 'If there is one team who, in my opinion, is by far the most honest team, it's us. 'I sometimes blame them that they never try to make a foul look a little bit more, like Cody against Palace, he got a push in his back but he was far too clean.

'The referee said 'Yeah, if you didn't fall, I'm not going to give you a free-kick' which is a little bit weird. 'A fraction later a Palace player fell down in a moment which wasn't even a foul and the referee said 'Oh, you fell down, so it is probably a foul'. 'We had much more ball possession than Palace but we made 13 fouls and they made five fouls and that tells you something about who we are. CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS 'We are a very fair team, I think that's clear but that's also a reason why we won the league, so why change if things went well?' Slot made the incorrect claim Ryan Gravenberch's suspension for tonight's season-opener was due to a yellow card for diving. SunSport's Martin Lipton gives his verdict from Wembley as Crystal Palace beat Liverpool on penalties in Community Shield While the midfielder was booked for going down in the final match of last term, he was then handed a straight red for a tactical foul. But Slot said: 'If there is one team in the league that never dives and never time-delays and those kinds of things — then it's us. 'And we have a suspension now for a player diving, that's what he got his first yellow card for.' Having chosen to bring up the issue, Slot then suggested he did not want his Reds to change their honest ways. The Kop boss said: 'For me the best games were the games against Paris Saint-Germain — that was so high intensity, both teams were there to play and not to pretend a foul was more, or to try to time-delay. 'I'm also proud of the fact of who we are and we won the league last season because of the team we were, so let us just stay who we are.'

Arne Slot warns Liverpool must adapt and bring something different
Arne Slot has told his Liverpool players to get used to having a target on their back as they look to replicate their Premier League dominance of last season. Slot's side launch the defence of the crown they claimed with such distinction and authority in May with a tricky-looking visit by Bournemouth in the top flight's season curtain-raiser. Friday's Anfield date is followed by fixtures against Newcastle and Arsenal in a testing start to the campaign which will give the Merseyside club an early indication of their credentials to repeat last season's success. It goes without saying that Diogo Jota will never be too far from their thoughts as they embark on a first season without their tragic team-mate. Slot's squad has seen several incomings and outgoings, and the Liverpool head coach admits how quickly his latest arrivals adapt to the unique rigours of the Premier League will be key in the bid to repeat their impressive 2024-25 campaign, when they had lost just one league game going into April as the Dutchman lifted the title at the first attempt having succeeded Jurgen Klopp. "Everyone has room for growth, especially when you've lost five or six players who played a lot of minutes last season," Slot said: "We've brought in four new ones, so there's a bit of adaptation going on, but we're definitely ready to start. "We've lost many starters, and we have brought in very good, intelligent players. The challenge is not always with yourself but with the teams you face. Bournemouth were probably the most intense team in the league last season in terms of running and playing style. After that is Newcastle and Arsenal, so that sums up this league and the challenge we have." Other than the financially-steroided Manchester City, Manchester United are the last club to successfully defend a Premier League title some 16 years ago. Slot added: "We have to improve because our competitors, I assume, have become better because they have only brought in additions and no-one left these clubs. You would expect them to be better this season so we need to be better as well." Slot believes coping with the physical demands of the league will be the biggest challenge faced by Florian Wirtz as the club's highest-profile summer acquisition looks to impress in his first taste of English domestic football. The sublimely-skilled German has performed impressively during pre-season with his new club following a £116m move from Bayer Leverkusen but Slot concedes the acid test is whether Wirtz can continue to showcase his quality consistently over the course of an arduous season. Asked if the 23-year-old's arrival can take his new club to the next level, the Dutchman replied: "That's something I can only answer in the upcoming years. Everything we expect is very positive but between expecting and realising something is different. "Why are [Lionel] Messi, [Cristiano] Ronaldo and Mo [Salah] so highly regarded? Because they are always fit. Every single game they are fit and that is something that Florian first has to show in a league like ours. "Our fans will see great moments if he is able to stay to fit." Slot is confident that a fit and firing Wirtz can bring an entirely new dynamic to Liverpool this season. He added: "He's a different profile to what we have. He might be a bit similar to Harvey [Elliott], but Harvey didn't play that much. "He's a different profile to Ryan [Gravenberch], Macca (Alexis Mac Allister), Dom [Szoboszlai], Curtis [Jones]. That is what we wanted - to bring a different profile in rather than adding something that we already had. "It's very positive that we could bring in such a highly regarded player but I think Liverpool has always been able to bring in these kinds of players." A significantly-changed Bournemouth squad arrive at Anfield as very much an unknown quantity. Liverpool themselves are expected to add to their roster before the transfer window closes on September 1, although Slot wouldn't be drawn on the club's on-going pursuit of Newcastle forward Alexander Isak and Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi. On Guehi, Slot would only say: "I will give you the answer you always get from me. Can I talk more? No, because he's not our player. Unfortunately he was the captain of the team we lost to in the Community Shield last Sunday. If you want to have talks about him, you could go to Palace. Ask their head coach Oliver Glasner about him." Guehi and Isak would set Liverpool back a combined £175m, in addition to the eye-watering quarter of a billion pounds the club has already invested in playing talent this summer. Slot added: "We're just focussed on the Bournemouth game. Last season we had so many games that were decided by small margins so we know we must fight every single time for those small margins again. "That's what I want to see the players doing in every single game we play this season."
