NICKY Forster has not ruled out the possibility of boosting his squad before this Thursday's deadline.

Brentford already have SEVEN loanees at Griffin Park – two more than the maximum number allowed in a matchday squad.

The Bees boss plans to add another keeper to the squad if Richard Lee's shoulder injury proves to be serious.

But with Charlie MacDonald , Sam Saunders and Robbie Simpson also sidelined, Forster could bring in another signing before the loan window slams shut.

He said: "We're always looking at other areas we can improve, but we're not desperately looking to bring in a loanee. That's not to say we won't."

Meanwhile, Forster insists none of his first-team squad will be leaving TW8.

The Brentford boss has given the green light for youth-teamer Chris Bush to go out on work experience, but says everyone else will be staying put due to the growing injury list at the club.

"I don't see anyone going out," added Forster.

"We're dropping players quite regularly at the moment, so we're going to need to count on all of them."
