Shandon Baptiste - Missing second straight Baptiste (foot) is not in Saturday's squad to face Crystal Palace.
Impact Baptiste misses out on his second straight match as he continues to recover from a foot injury. The midfielder had started two straight contests prior to the injury.

Mathias Jensen - Returns off bench Jensen played 23 minutes off the bench and sent in five crosses during Wednesday's 4-1 loss to Wolves.
Impact Jensen finally made his return after spending five matches on the sideline. In his first match back he got back on a set piece duty and sent in three more crosses from open play. With Jensen back Saman Ghoddos is likely to fall away from some set pieces, though it's conceivable that the two split duties moving forward.

Kevin Schade - Set for return at end of January Schade (groin) is now expected to not return until the end of January, according to the club.
Impact Schade has had a slight hiccup in his recovery process, as he has been ruled out for the next month after being expected to return in the middle of the month for their match against Nottingham Forrest on Jan. 20. The attacker had only played for five contests this season before encountering the issue, starting three teams during that span before a streak that currently stands at 13 matches out after enduring the injury. Once he returns, we will hope to find a way back into the starting rotation.

Aaron Hickey - Will miss another month Hickey (hamstring) is expected to remain out for the next month, according to the club.
Impact Hickey's recovery progress just took a step back, as the player has been announced to be out for the next month instead of returning after the winter break, as initially anticipated. The defender will hope to possibly speed that process up slightly as he looks to reclaim his starting spot, getting that nod in nine of the club's 10 matches before his injury.
DECEMBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Kristoffer Ajer - Set for return against Nottingham Ajer (foot) is still dealing with a foot issue but is nearing a return, being expected to come back to play on Jan. 20 against Nottingham Forest, according to the club.
Impact Ajer has missed five matches thus far with his foot injury and is still expected to miss one more match on Saturday against Crystal Palace, but is slotted to return to action on Jan. 20 against Nottingham. Once the defender is back in the mix, he should immediately make a push for the starting role, as when healthy, he only missed out on three starts compared to his seven nods in the starting XI. He will hope for no further setbacks in the recovery progress and to make his return as anticipated against Forest.
DECEMBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Shandon Baptiste - Picks up minor foot injury Baptiste is in question for Saturday's match against Crystal Palace, as he is being assessed ahead of the contest due to a minor foot injury, the club announced Friday.
Impact Baptiste will be a game-time decision for Saturday's match, facing a late fitness test after injuring his foot before Wednesday's contest against Wolves. The player will hope to return for the game, as he started in the two previous matches before encountering the knock. The midfielder will most likely end up serving as a bench option in the contest if available, possibly getting a couple of minutes off the bench late into the match.

Yoane Wissa pulls one back for Brentford against Wolves | Premier League
DECEMBER 27, 2023 • YOUTUBE
Neal Maupay - Assists in home loss Maupay assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Wednesday's 4-1 defeat versus Wolverhampton.
Impact Maupay assisted Yoane Wissa in the 16th minute with his only chance created in the match. That was his third assist in the season, to go with two goals. The forward logged his seventh start so far in 15 overall appearances, and will look to remain in the squad from now on.
DECEMBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Yoane Wissa - Scores versus Wolverhampton Wissa scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), two chances created, three crosses (two accurate) and one corner in Wednesday's 4-1 defeat against Wolverhampton.
Impact Wissa scored his fourth goal in the season in the 16th minute to cut Wolves' lead to 2-1, but it wasn't enough to avoid the home loss. The forward also led his side in chances created in the game. He scored seven times in 2022-23 and is now looking to top that number.
DECEMBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Mark Flekken - Concedes four goals at home Flekken had one save and allowed four goals in Wednesday's 4-1 defeat versus Wolverhampton.
Impact Flekken had a game to forget, conceding a season-worst four goals at home. The goalkeeper has only three clean sheets so far, and the last one was in October. He will look to bounce back at Crystal Palace on Saturday.
DECEMBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Frank Onyeka - Available for return Onyeka is available for Saturday's trip to Crystal Palace after serving a one-match ban.
Impact Onyeka picked up his fifth yellow card against Aston Villa but is now eligible to return to the starting XI. The midfielder was actually on the bench more often than not before the ban, but he could return to some major minutes with short rest possibly forcing some rotation against Crystal Palace.
DECEMBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Mathias Jensen - On bench Wednesday Jensen (groin) is on the bench for Wednesday's match against Wolves.
Impact Jensen is back on the team sheet for Brentford after a five-match spell on the bench, returning to the bench after healing from a groin injury. The midfielder had started every contest this season leading up to his problem, so he should return to the starting XI in the club's next match when they face Crystal Palace on Saturday.
DECEMBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Kristoffer Ajer - Out against Wolves Ajer (foot) is out for Wednesday's match against Wolves.
Impact Ajer is still not fit for a return, having been left out for a fifth straight match on Wednesday. The club will hope the player returns for their final contest of the year against Crystal Palace on Saturday, as he had started the past seven matches leading up to his issue.
DECEMBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Mathias Jensen - Expected to return by Wolves match Jensen (groin) is expected to be available by next week's match against Wolves, according to manager Thomas Frank. "Mathias Jensen will be available for selection for the [Wolves g...
Impact Jensen looks to be nearing a return to full fitness after a five-match spell on the bench, as manager Thomas Frank confirmed the player will be available by their Dec. 27 game against Wolves. This will be a huge boost back into the squad for the Bees, with the midfielder being a normal starter this season and starting every match up until his injury. He should waste no time getting back in the starting XI, having scored three goals on seven shots and two assists on 20 chances created in only 12 appearances.
DECEMBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Ivan Toney - Joins group training again Toney is preparing to get back in the squad soon, as the club confirmed he was back in Brentford for team training this past week.
Impact Toney is just a couple of weeks away from having his suspension lifted and being able to play for the first time since May 6 of last season after being found guilty of breaching FA rules surrounding gambling. The forward is once again available for the team on Jan. 17, with his first game being eligible against Nottingham Forest on Jan. 20. He should contend for a starting spot immediately and shouldn't take too long to recapture that role, having had an extraordinary breakout season last campaign where he scored 20 goals and assisted on four. Brentford will be very happy to get the forward back with their lacking form, sitting in the bottom half of the league in goals and points, with 24 and 19, respectively.
DECEMBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Mathias Jensen - Spotted in training Jensen (groin) was pictured in training Wednesday, a week before the game against Wolverhampton.
Impact Jensen has been out since the November international break with a nagging groin injury, but it looks like he's edging closer to a full return. Without a match in Gameweek 18, there's a decent chance he'll be back in the starting XI for the Dec. 27 game against Wolves, giving Brentford some much-needed help.
