Pelenda Da Silva - Out until 2024 Dasilva (hamstring) will aim for a return on Jan 5 against the Wolves for the FA Cup Third Round.
Mathias Jensen - Shelved again Jensen (groin) will not be an option for Sunday's match versus Aston Villa.

Bryan Mbeumo - Undergoes ankle surgery Mbuemo underwent successful ankle surgery and is set for a 12 week absence, per manager Thomas Frank. "Operation today on the ankle, out for 12 weeks. Bryan is a positive guy, he w...
Impact Mbeumo's injury turned out to be worse than expected as he will be sidelined for the next three months. He was on a good run prior to his injury, recording three goals and three assists on 30 crosses (six accurate) and 10 chances created in that span. With Keane Lewis-Potter back, he is in line for more playing time, along with Neal Maupay.
DECEMBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Nathan Collins - Back in training Collins (ankle) was seen in team training ahead of Sunday's match against Aston Villa.
Impact Collins suffered the original ankle injury over the November international break and was given a multi-week timeline, which means he's following that projection. He's missed the last four league games for Brentford and will be a nice addition to the back line. The question is if he fits into the starting XI when Thomas Frank opts for a 4-3-3 formation, as Ben Mee is healthy again and was originally the regular next to Ethan Pinnock in the four-man back line.
DECEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Vitaly Janelt - Creates two chances Janelt recorded two crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 1-0 loss versus Sheffield United.

DECEMBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Yehor Yarmoliuk - Plays one half Yarmolyuk had one shot (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 1-0 defeat versus Sheffield United.
Impact Yarmolyuk came on at halftime to play 45 minutes while logging in just one shot on target Saturday. He's appeared in the last eight matches, making three starts in that span while generating six shots (three on target), nine tackles (eight won) and four crosses (zero accurate).
DECEMBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Michael Olakigbe - Two crosses on day Olakigbe generated two crosses (zero accurate) and one tackle in Saturday's 1-0 defeat to Sheffield United.
Impact Olakigbe made his first appearance since Oct 21, having been an unused sub the last six matches. He's only made five appearances on the season, totaling four crosses (zero accurate) and two shots (one on target).
DECEMBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Mark Flekken - Sees one go in loss Flekken had three saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-0 defeat to Sheffield United.
Impact Flekken has let in a goal in the last six matches, with 10 goals conceded in that span. He also brings his saves per game to 2.6 with 39 in 15 appearances. The keeper only has three clean sheets on the season, while failing to complete one since Oct 28.

Mark Flekken - Gets beaten twice versus Brighton Flekken made five saves and conceded two goals during Wednesday's 2-1 loss against Brighton.
Impact Flekken was beaten once each half and didn't stand much of a chance in either goal scored by the opposition. However, this was a much more lopsided contest than the final score suggests and that happened mostly because of the goalkeeper's performance between the posts as he had the second-most saves in a game this season. Flekken will now try to help his side bouncing back during Saturday's visit to Sheffield United.

Ethan Pinnock - Busy defensively versus Brighton Pinnock had one off-target shot and made five tackles (three won), seven clearances and two interceptions during Wednesday's 2-1 loss against Brighton.
Impact Pinnock was on the losing side but still found his way to be a net-positive from a fantasy perspective, filling up the stat sheet and prevailing over opposing forwards most of the times. The center-back has been one of the best defenders among all EPL players this season, holding a comfortable lead in clearances, with 99 over 15 starts, while also ranking third in interceptions and eight in blocks, so he'll always be a great fantasy pick regardless of the opposition.

Mikkel Damsgaard - Got minutes Wednesday Damsgaard generated three tackles (zero won) in Wednesday's 2-1 defeat against Brighton. Per manager Thomas Frank, he is "looking better and better" following his knee injury.

Mathias Jensen - Fitness test for Saturday Jensen (groin) is set to be a late call for Saturday's trip to Sheffield United, according to manager Thomas Frank.
Impact Jensen is inching closer to a return to the pitch after missing the las three matches with a groin injury. If the midfielder is deemed fit, he will likely return to the starting XI after starting all 12 games played with the team.

Impact Mbeumo could be in line for some time on the sidelines following an ankle injury Wednesday. He had yet missed a match this season, starting all 15 games for the team while logging in seven goals and three assists. If the forward is indeed set for a long absence, then Yoane Wissa could see more playing time on the pitch.

Impact Mbeumo scored from the spot before clattering into Pascal Gross just minutes later. It appeared his ankle got tangled up and twisted in the challenge, forcing him to limp off.

Mathias Jensen - Out for Brighton match Jensen (groin) is out for Wednesday's match against Brighton.
Impact Jensen is still waiting on a return, missing his third straight match with a groin injury. It shouldn't be too much of a surprise to see the midfielder out, as he was a game-time decision that was leaning more towards another day out. The club will hope he is healthy by the weekend for their game against Sheffield, as he has been a regular starter this season when healthy.
