Aaron Hickey
24-Year-Old
Brentford
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Hickey missed almost two full seasons with a hamstring injury but returned to the bench for the 2024/25 season finale, and he'll have a full preseason to get back to match speed. Prior to his injury, Hickey was considered one of the more promising full-backs in the Premier League. He has the ability to play on the right or left, both as a wing-back or traditional full-back. Getting back to that consistent starting role is the big question for him entering the new season. If he can win the job, he'll immediately have fantasy value as an attacking full-back.
Included on bench
Hickey (undisclosed) is on the bench for Wednesday's clash with Brazil.
ANALYSIS
Hickey was a doubt coming into Wednesday's match, but evidently he was able to get fit enough for a role on the bench. The defender might not be fit enough to actually play, but it's a good sign that he was deemed available for the bench. Nathan Patterson is in line for the start at right-back once more.

Available to face Fulham
Hickey (hamstring) is an option for Saturday's match against Fulham, according to manager Keith Andrews. "Aaron [is available] from the last game, which is a bonus for us. He's been missing for a number of weeks, so it will be nice to get him back involved. He was close last weekend, but he's had a good week's training."
