'I'd like to play for a top club' | Ivan Toney refuses to rule out January exit Ivan Toney has refused to rule out a January move away from Brentford, admitting that he wants to play for a 'top club'.
Sergio Reguilon - Loaned to Brentford Reguilon was loaned to Brentford for the remainder of the season, Tottenham announced Wednesday.
Impact Reguilon spent the first half of the season with Manchester United, where he made 11 total appearances. He is now off to Brentford where he could see more opportunity, though it's more likely than not that he fills a depth role there as well. Reguilon could see some early starts though with Saman Ghoddos away on international duty.

Christian Norgaard - Hopeful to return next week Norgaard (ankle) will miss Saturday's match against Nottingham Forest but is hopeful to return soon, according to manager Thomas Frank. "It was not as bad as we were fearing, so it...
Impact It's good news on Norgaard, who may only have to miss the second leg of their FA Cup clash and the upcoming Nottingham Forest game. Norgaard has been a constant in the midfield, missing just one league match prior to injury, which was due to a yellow card suspension. In his absence, Mikkel Damsgaard and Josh Dasilva are options to start in the midfield, while Ivan Toney is set to return from his ban.

Ivan Toney - Available following ban Toney is available going forward following the completion of his eight-month ban.
Impact Toney can finally play for Brentford following the end of his eight-month ban, which ended this week. He's been at the training facilities, working up his fitness for a few months and has gotten multiple 90-minute appearances in recent scrimmages, so the thought is that he'll be an option immediately for the Bees. The question is if he'll be ready to start in that first match which comes Saturday against Nottingham Forest.

Shandon Baptiste - Returns off bench Baptiste came off the bench for the final 50 minutes of Tuesday's 3-2 loss to Wolves in the FA Cup.
Impact Baptiste returned from a foot injury that ruled him out for three matches to come off the bench during Tuesday's match. The midfielder didn't get much done on the pitch but he's still a solid depth option to get back heading into the winter break in the Premier League.

Ivan Toney - Plays 90 minutes Saturday Toney played 90 minutes during a behind-closed-doors friendly against Brondby.
Impact Toney's next league match will come a full seven days after Saturday's friendly with eyes on a potential return for a Jan. 20 clash with Nottingham Forest. The striker is continuing to build up his fitness before making the return to the senior team. Coming off a lengthy suspension it's not entirely clear when Toney will be deemed ready for first team action.

Mathias Jensen - Avoids concussion Jensen started and played 83 minutes during Tuesday's clash with Wolves in the FA Cup.
Impact Jensen was a potential concussion concern after a nasty collission against Crystal Palace. It turns out those concerns were largely unfounded as the midfielder was straight back in the starting XI at the first chance. He also went for a good portion of the match a good sign that Jensen should be back to his major role in the starting XI as the main creative outlet.

Kristoffer Ajer - Busy on return Ajer started and played 62 minutes during Tuesday's clash with Wolves in the FA Cup.
Impact Ajer got back on the pitch for 62 minutes during Tuesday's match. The defender is back from a foot injury that plagued him for almost two months. The defender should be back in consitent minutes at both right-back and center-back moving forward.

Kristoffer Ajer - Training with team Monday Ajer (foot) was pictured back in training with the team ahead of Tuesday's FA Cup contest against Brentford.
Impact Ajer looks to have made decent progress on his rehabilitation ahead of Tuesday's match, being viewed as training with the team on Monday. He will hope to return to the team sheet Tuesday, as he has missed the club's last seven matches across all competitions due to the foot issue. If he is an option against Brentford, there is a decent chance he could start, as he got the start in a string of seven matches before going down with the injury. However, if he is not healthy enough to play, expect Mads Roeslev to continue on the right flank of the defense.

Yunus Emre Konak - Signs with Brentford Konak has agreed upon terms for a transfer to Brentford from Turkish league side Sivasspor, his new club announced Thursday.
Impact Konak is taking his talents to the Premier League to join the Brentford Bees despite being a highly sought-after prospect all across Europe. The 18-year-old will be with the club for a long time as well, inking a six-year contract with an option for an additional year in 2030. It is hard to tell at the moment where the midfielder will find himself with the club, as he may start earning time with the first team in his first season with the club or may be sent to the youth ranks to continue his development for another season. Either way, the player looks to be a major part of the Bees moving forward, as he is one of their first big signings into the advancement of the club moving forward towards the future.

Kevin Schade - Ramping up work Schade (groin) was pictured training with the ball Thursday with a return still expected in a couple weeks.
Impact Schade had a setback in December and the hope is that the next couple weeks go a little more smoother. He's been out since September with the injury and will need these weeks to get back his fitness in addition to returning his groin to 100 percent. The question for him will be if he can return to the XI immediately because since his injury, Ivan Toney has returned from suspension, Neal Maupay has joined the fray and Keane Lewis-Potter is healthy again.

Kristoffer Ajer - Returns to training Ajer (foot) was seen training on the grass Wednesday ahead of Jan 20 clash against Nottingham Forest.
Impact Ajer is scheduled to make a return on Jan 20 after missing the last month with a foot injury. He is expected to start at right back if all goes well during the next week of full training, where he has seen a total of eight starts in 11 appearances this campaign, recording an assist in that span. If the defender is ruled not fit, then Mads Roerslev will see another start against Nottingham Forest.

Impact Toney is working his way back to full match fitness following an eight month ban due to breaching FA gambling rules. It's good to see the forward has his shooting boots back on, though he'll obviously be facing much stiffer competition once he returns to the Premier League lineup.

Pelenda Da Silva - Starts in draw Dasilva got the start during Friday's one-all draw with Wolves in the FA Cup.
Impact Dasilva played 63 minutes in the starting XI, a nice return from a serious hamstring injury. The midfielder isn't a major contributor to the starting XI, but he should see some minutes moving forward after making 36 appearances in 2022/23. Dasilva also earned six goal contributions in 2022/23, a very efficient return on 1,382 minutes.
