Liverpool loanee Harvey Elliott was flying at Blackburn Rovers before being benched for the last two games.
The creative 17-year-old winger made a mistake against Reading last week, leading to the only goal in the game, and has not been included in the starting XI for the last two Championship fixtures.
However, manager Tony Mowbray explained that the decision to drop Elliott - who has scored five and assisted 10 this season so far - was simply to give him a rest.
Now, teenager could be primed for a recall to the side against Brentford tonight, as Rovers get set to play their fourth game in 10 days.
“He’s done extraordinarily well for us,” Blackburn boss Mowbray said.
“You have to put into context that he’s 17-years-old, I know he’s come from Liverpool, one of the powerhouses of European football, but he’s assisted and scored and been very creative for our team and been a huge positive and made a huge impact at our football club.
“I took him out of the side because he’s played a lot of games on the bounce and at 17 you can’t expect him to keep going, every game 90 minutes, he needs to be given a rest.
“For him it coincided with us going to Millwall and winning 2-0, the performance against Swansea was really decent that probably warranted more than the draw we got.
“Without giving the team away we’ll assess where everybody is, for some this will be the fourth game in 10 days and we have to assess whether they can keep rolling or whether we need to make some changes.”
