Ivan Toney - Out of Saturday's squad Toney is not in the Brentford squad heading to Luton Town on Saturday.

Impact Toney's absence comes as a surprise as he'll not feature for his second consecutive contest after being an unused substitute last week against Sheffield United. It's possible Toney is dealing with fatigue following a run of 12 straight starts after returning from his gambling suspension as he'll have played just nine total minutes across Brentford's last three contests including Saturday's match.

Kristoffer Ajer - Ready to return Ajer (calf) is available for Saturday's clash with Luton Town, according to manager Thomas Frank.

Impact Ajer missed out against Sheffield United due to a minor calf straight but is now fit again and ready to return. The defender should be straight back into the starting XI, with Nathan Collins likely falling to the bench. Ajer has started the last 10 matches he's been fit for.

Christian Norgaard - Available Saturday Norgaard (back) is available for Saturday's trip to Luton Town, according to manager Thomas Frank."And the best news is that Christian Norgaard is available for selection."

Impact Norgaard has missed five matches in a row due to the back injury but is now back available. It's not clear if he will be deemed fit enough to start, but even just being available is a great sign. Mikkel Damsgaard could fall to the bench if Norgaard is fit enough to start Saturday.

Kevin Schade - Assist in return Schade assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Saturday's 2-0 victory over Sheffield United.

Impact Schade made the squad as a substitute and played only one minute duringhis return. However, that return was phenomenal nonetheless, as one of his two passes went to Frank Onyeka, who scored Brentford's second to end his own goal drought. Schade will look to ramp up his playing time in the coming games, ending his season on a high after it looked lost for him as early as late 2023.

Frank Onyeka - Scores as limited reserve Onyeka scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 2-0 victory versus Sheffield United.

Zanka - Seven clearances in clean sheet Zanka logged one tackle (one won), seven clearances and two interceptions in Saturday's 2-0 win versus Sheffield United.

Impact Defensively, Zanka needed to redeem himself after he was part of the center-back pairing that let in three goals during Brentford's previous game. The defender bounced back with a team-best seven clearances and multiple interceptions. Zanka has 36 clearances and 12 interceptions across his 13 appearances this season.

Ethan Pinnock - Available for selection Pinnock (ankle) is available for Saturday's match against Sheffield United, according to manager Thomas Frank. "The good news is that Kevin Schade is available, and will make the s...

Impact Pinnock is available once more for Saturday's clash, after an ankle injury sidelined him for more than 10 matches. The defender is the top choice in the back three when fully fit, and should see immediate minutes in the starting XI to close out the season. The only doubt for Pinnock will be if he's ready for his full workload straight away or not.

Impact Reguilon created two of Brentford's three goals in the match, and now has three assists in the season. The midfielder subbed off with an undisclosed injury in the 76th minute.

APRIL 8 • ROTOWIRE

Bryan Mbeumo - Scores in road draw Mbeumo scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 3-3 draw versus Aston Villa.
