Ethan Pinnock - Out until international break Pinnock (ankle) has been ruled out until after the international break with his current injury situation, the club announced Saturday.
Impact Pinnock just recently picked up his ankle issue heading into Saturday's match against Liverpool but has already been ruled out until after the international break, meaning he will not be an option again until late March. This is a tough loss for the club, as the defender has started in every match leading up to his absence against Liverpool. He will now hope for no setbacks in his recovery process and to return as expected in March, with Kristoffer Ajer moving into a starting role alongside Nathan Collins and Ben Mee while Pinnock is out.

Yoane Wissa - Returns to Brentford Wissa (AFCON) is an option for Saturday's match against Liverpool after returning to the club this week, the club announced Friday.
Impact Wissa has finally made his way back to the club, ending a four-match absence following his service with Congo during AFCON 2023. The club will be happy to have the attacker back with the club, as they gain another regular starter off of the unavailable report, with Wissa only serving on the bench once when available. He has a chance of making the starting XI Saturday, possibly getting the start at striker and relegating Neal Maupay to the bench. However, they may keep with Maupay after he has scored three goals in their past four games, with Wissa only getting time off the bench.

Frank Onyeka - Back with team Onyeka (AFCON) is back with the team and is an option for Saturday's match against Liverpool, the club announced Friday.
Impact Onyeka is back in Brentford after his service with Nigeria during AFCON 2023, ending his four-match absence from the squad. The club will be happy to have the player back to add more depth to their midfield, but he shouldn't be expected to see much time in the starting XI now that he has returned, as the midfielder has only started in six matches this season. He will most likely be selected for the Liverpool contest but will only serve off the bench, probably still getting time at some point as a substitute.

Sergio Reguilon - Five crosses in first start Reguilon generated one shot (one on goal), five crosses (one accurate) and three corners in Monday's 3-1 defeat versus Manchester City.
Impact Reguilon earned his first start since joining the Bees this past month, putting up a decent stat line of two clearances, three interceptions, four tackles and five crosses. The defender should be expected to take over the starting role on the left flank of the field from here on out, as despite being a loanee, he is one of their better players in the back and adds a lot with his ability to also help the team when pushing forward to attack.

Ivan Toney - Four crosses in loss Toney generated two shots (zero on goal) and four crosses (two accurate) in Monday's 3-1 loss to Manchester City.

Impact Maupay kept his hot streak going Monday despite ending up on the losing side, scoring in his third straight match after finding the net in the 21st minute off of a Mark Flekken assist. This gave Maupay his eighth goal contribution of the season, now having five goals and three assists. The forward should continue to start following his great run of form despite the return of Ivan Toney early this month. However, with Yoane Wissa returning soon from AFCON, he will have more competition in the future and will have to keep up these performances to maintain his job up top.
