Kevin Schade - Remains out Saturday Schade (groin) is not in the squad to face Aston Villa on Saturday.

Impact Schade misses out on Saturday's contest after as he continues to recover from a groin injury that has kept him out since September. The attacker was deemed close to a return and could feature next week against Sheffield United.

Keane Lewis-Potter - Another chance created Lewis-Potter had three crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Wednesday's 0-0 draw against Brighton.

Impact This marked the second straight start for Lewis-Potter, who registered a chance created for the third consecutive game. He also completed at least 10 passes for the third time in the last four outings. On the other hand, this marked the first time in his last five appearances where he did not record a shot.

Vitaly Janelt - Continues to send the cross Janelt had three crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Wednesday's 0-0 draw against Brighton. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 76th minute.

Impact Janelt delivered at least one accurate cross for the sixth time in the last seven games. This also marked his second consecutive game with at least 30 completed passes. On the defensive side of the ball, this marked his second straight game with at least three tackles won, and his third straight game with at least two interceptions.

Zanka - Continues to go the distance Zanka generated one shot (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Wednesday's 0-0 draw versus Brighton.

Impact Zanka saw his seventh consecutive start since a five-game absence, and he played a full 90 minutes for the eighth time in that span. His shot on goal marked a first within the last seven games, while this also marked the second time in the last three outings where he failed to record even one tackle.

Mark Flekken - Six saves in draw Flekken recorded six saves and allowed zero goals in Wednesday's 0-0 draw against Brighton.

Impact Flekken came up with at least four saves for a fourth consecutive match, pushing up to a total of 18 saves, compared to five goals conceded in that span. This also marked his first clean sheet in the last eight outings. Up next for Brentford is an encounter with Aston Villa on Saturday.

Aaron Hickey - Remains without return date Hickey remains without a return date as he progresses from his hamstring injury.

Impact There was never a confirmation of hamstring surgery for Hickey, but given that he's been out since October, there's a chance he underwent some kind of procedure. He suffered a bad hamstring to start and then suffered a recurrence in January, so it's likely they're taking things as slow as possible with a return and there's a chance he doesn't play again this season.

Ivan Toney - Goes 90 in draw Toney played the full 90 and shot twice during Wednesday's scoreless draw with Brighton.

Impact Toney was ruled out after suffering a knock in warmups before leading the team out as he apparently overcame the knock. He then went the full 90, avoiding any injury concerns and leading the line. Toney is seemingly fine and should be the top option whenever fit for the remainder of the campaign.

Ivan Toney - Starting Wednesday Toney is in the starting XI, despite a now deleted tweet from Brentford reporting a pre-match injury, according to Jay Harris of The Athletic.

Impact Toney was supposedly a late scratch, but instead it seems he will be leading the line as he captains the team and led them onto the pitch. Bryan Mbeumo remains on the bench with Toney apparently fit and available, though after limping in warmups he will be one to monitor on how he's moving throughout the first half.

Ivan Toney - Late scratch Toney was forced out of the starting XI for Wednesday's match against Brighton after appearing to pick up an injury in warmups.

Impact Toney has been scratched from the starting XI just minutes before kickoff Wednesday, as he looks to have possibly picked up an injury while warming up for the match, with Byan Mbeumo replacing him at forward. This will be a significant loss for the club if Toney does miss time, as he is easily their best player and goal scorer, but they may have to do without him as they battle the relegation zone. More should be known after the match once manager Unai Emery talks to the media, with the club holding their breath that tests only show a minor issue and the player can return within the next couple of days.

Christian Norgaard - Continues on sidelines Norgaard (back) is out for Wednesday's match against Brighton.

Impact Norgaard still has not healed from his back issues, now missing his third straight match after being left off the team sheet Wednesday. This continues to be a major loss for the club, as he is a regular starter when available, with the player now hoping for a return against Aston Villa on Saturday. However, that is still not clear, with the club not releasing much on the player's status lately.

Ivan Toney - Assists in home draw Toney assisted once to go with nine shots (zero on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Manchester United.

Impact Toney created Kristoffer Ajer's equalizer in the 99th minute with his first assist in the campaign. That was his 11th start in a row after coming back from the eight-month ban. The forward also led Brentford with a season-high nine shots -- he has four goals so far.

Kristoffer Ajer - Scores late equalizer Ajer scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Manchester United.

Impact Ajer scored the late equalizer in the 99th minute, after they condeded already during stoppage time, with his second goal in a row -- and second in the season. The centerback also helped on defense leading Brentford in clearances.

Mark Flekken - Makes four saves in win Flekken made four saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Manchester United.

Impact Flekken was taking the clean sheet and the win until the end, but conceded in the 96th minute. The goalkeeper has only one clean sheet in the last 19 games and three overall in the season. He will look to bounce back against Brighton on Wednesday.

APRIL 1 • ROTOWIRE

Sergio Reguilon - Suspension served Reguilon is an option for Wednesday's match against Brighton after serving his one-match ban against Manchester United on Sunday.

Impact Reguilon is available once again, as he is no longer banned following the straight red card he received against Burnely on March 16. The defender will now most likely return to the starting XI for the Brighton match, as he has started in all but one match he has been available for since joining the club on loan in January.

Bryan Mbeumo - Could start vs. Brighton Mbeumo might be ready to start Wednesday against Brighton, manager Thomas Frank told media Monday. "He's ready to start," said Frank. "If he starts, let's see. It depends on what w...

Impact The speedy forward has made substitute appearances against Burnley and Manchester United in Brentford's last two games. Given how he looked against the Red Devils, it wouldn't be surprising to see him earn his first start since Dec. 6. Mbeumo has seven goals and three assists across 17 Premier League outings this season.

APRIL 1 • ROTOWIRE

Kevin Schade - Could be ready for Saturday Schade (groin) won't face Brighton on Wednesday but might be ready to see minutes against Aston Villa on Saturday, manager Thomas Frank told media Monday. "Kevin Schade will play a...

Impact Schade is ramping up in his recovery process, and having him close to return is certainly a positive sign for a Bees team that needs all the help they can get to generate some distance with the relegation zone. Schade has played just five games this season, starting three times and bagging one goal.
