Meanwhile, Evans and Lindelof also featured in that game, bringing up their 284th and 241st appearances, respectively.
Lindelof represented the club for eight years, having signed in 2017. While Evans leaves as the most decorated amongst the three, having won three Premier League titles and numerous other major honours.
Tom Heaton is also among the players listed for free transfer, though the club is still in talks with the goalkeeper over a potential new deal to keep him in the squad for the 2025-26 season.
Meanwhile, academy players Hubert Graczyk, Jack Kingdon, Sam Murray, Tom Myles, James Nolan, and Tom Wooster are set to be released this summer.

Sancho hesitates, Roma consider Jonathan Rowe
Jadon Sancho does not appear entirely convinced of Roma as his next destination. The Manchester United player, born in 2000, doesn't seem convinced about a move to the Giallorossi as he does not wish to reduce his salary and favors playing in the Champions League this season. As a result, the capital club, writes La Gazzetta dello Sport, has reportedly turned to Jonathan Rowe, the English winger from Marseille who is at odds with De Zerbi's team. Massara, an expert on French football, knows him well and the profile fits well within the Giallorossi's possibilities. Important news is expected in the next 48 hours: if Sancho doesn't show signs of definitive openness, the sporting director will strongly focus on Rowe to avoid the competition of Premier League clubs.

Lorient make enquiry for Leeds' Illan Meslier
Illan Meslier (25), after a difficult past two seasons, has lost his starting place in goal at Leeds United. The Frenchman was part of the side that earned promotion back to the Premier League last season, however, his season between the sticks was marked – once again – by some high-profile errors. As a result, Leeds sought out a replacement for Meslier this season and signed Lucas Perri from Olympique Lyonnais. As Leeds get their Premier League campaign underway against Everton on Monday, there is no doubt that it will be the Brazilian who wears the No.1 jersey. Demoted, Meslier could leave the Yorkshire club. He could make a return to his boyhood club, FC Lorient, understands. Les Merlus, back in Ligue 1, have made an enquiry to bring their academy product back to the club. The former France U21 international left back in 2020 and has since gone on to play 214 matches for Leeds. But he may have played his last. GFFN | Luke Entwistle

Nottingham Forest 3-1 Brentford - the fans' verdict
We asked for your thoughts after Sunday's Premier League game between Nottingham Forest and Brentford. Here are some of your comments: Nottingham Forest fans Peter: Some of our play in the first half was the most fluid I've seen since we've been in this league. Brentford had no idea what was happening. Better late than never. Our new signings and those we've been linked to should address the issues that ultimately undid our bid for the top five last season. Mark: Forest played some magnificent football in the first half. Every player we had on the pitch looked class. Gibbs-White and Anderson in particular were superb. The passes for goals two and three were top drawer. And there is more to come! I expect a higher finish in the league than last season. Simon: Looks like Forest have the players to be more tactically flexible this season. Towards the end of last season teams were learning how to play them (and Forest players were getting tired). It now looks like they have more than one way to play and recruitment has been excellent. Brentford fans Will: A bit shocked that we let three in. Honestly, we looked half asleep in the first period. We were better in the second - it helped having Schade and then Henderson in. Should start them, and with Damsgaard back we will get needed creativity. Very much need more in the final third. Didn't see a visible strategy to deal with Forest's potent attack. Hope Andrews can learn and adjust as we move on. I hate to say it, but he looked kind of dazed. Sam: A sloppy performance in which we were a shadow of our past selves. Defence and midfield was nowhere to be seen at times so when we lost the ball, Forest carved us open. Some positives - like Schade coming on and seeing Rico Henry back - but, overall, not pleased at all. Richard: There were some positives but not many. We were outplayed by an in-form team. We have a lot of new players who in time will learn from this and improve. We go on to the next game with more information on where we need to improve. Come on, you Bees!
