Brentford striker Neal Maupay will not play in their friendly against Dynamo Kiev on Saturday due to the ongoing uncertainty over his future, Sky Sports News has been told.

The Bees have withdrawn the 22-year-old from the squad and given him permission to return to France for three days because he has not been in the right frame of mind to play.

Aston Villa, Brighton, Sheffield United and West Ham have all expressed interest in the Frenchman.
