Pelenda Da Silva - Still out Dasilva (hamstring) is out for Saturday's clash with Luton Town, according to manager Thomas Frank.
Impact Dasilva is out Saturday and continues to work on his recovery. The midfielder is back in training but after such a serious hamstring injury it appears he won't be rushed back into the first team any time soon.

Mathias Jensen - Out against Luton Jensen (groin) is out for Saturday's clash with Luton, according to manager Thomas Frank.
Impact Jensen will be out for Saturday's clash due to the groin injury, though it isn't expected to be serious. The midfielder will be assessed again before a Wednesday trip to Brighton, giving him a chance of missing just a single match. The midfielder is one of the first names on the team sheet when fit. Christian Norgaard is likely to get the start with Jensen sidelined.

Mads Roerslev Rasmussen - Available once more Roerslev (undisclosed) is available for Saturday's clash with Luton, according to manager Thomas Frank.
Impact Roerslev is an option for Saturday's clash after recovering from an undisclosed issue that sidelined him against Arsenal. The defender could see some run in the starting XI now that he is back after Saman Ghoddos was handed the start last time out.

Mikkel Damsgaard - Uncertain Saturday Damsgaard (knee) is a doubt for Saturday's clash with Luton, according to manager Thomas Frank.
Impact Damsgaard was an option for a second XI during the week and is touch and go to make his return to the first team. The attacking midfielder has been making his return from a long-term knee injury and is now finally nearing his return. If he can't go Saturday his next chance would be a Wednesday trip to Brighton.

Ethan Pinnock - Strong in defense Pinnock generated 12 clearancesand two interceptions in Saturday's 1-0 defeat against Arsenal.
Impact Pinnock had an impressive defensive outing, leading his team with 12 clearances, the second-highest count he's achieved in a game this season. His team was just minutes away from securing a clean sheet but conceded the contest's only goal in the 89th minute.

Mark Flekken - Concedes once in defeat Flekken made three saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-0 loss to Arsenal.
Impact Flekken nearly recorded his fourth clean sheet of the season, but he conceded the contest's only goal in the 89th minute. The goalkeeper made three saves, significantly fewer than the eight saves against Liverpool, where he faced heavy pressure. Next, he'll face off against challenge Luton Town, a team with 12 goals in 13 games.

Mikkel Damsgaard - Returns in friendly Damsgaard (knee) returned during a behind closed doors friendly against Bournemouth.
Impact Damsgaard is yet to get back with the first team but he did play during a friendly against Bournemouth. The midfielder is nearing a return, as expected, and could be in line for first team minutes in the coming weeks. With how busy the December schedule is it's likely Damsgaard won't be rushed back into any huge role to avoid aggravating the knee injury.

Mads Roerslev Rasmussen - Misses match with knock Roerslev was not an option against Arsenal after picking up a minor injury, according to the club.
Impact Roerslev was held out for the third match this season after encountering a minor injury ahead of kickoff. Brentford will hope the defender only misses one match, as he has been a regular sight at right-back this season, alternating from a starter to a bench role every other match. If he is not healthy by their next match against Luton, expect Saman Ghoddos to continue in the starting role after replacing Roerzlev against Arsenal.

Mathias Jensen - Picks up minor injury Jensen was not a part of Saturday's squad for a match against Arsenal due to a minor injury, according to the club.
Impact Jensen missed his first match of the season on Friday, being held out due to a minor injury. It seems like it was more of a precautionary move heading into a game they were a heavy underdog in, and the midfielder should return for the club's next match after his absence. He was replaced by Christian Norgaard in the starting XI, who should move back to the bench if Jensen returns next match.

Keane Lewis-Potter - Available from bench Lewis-Potter (calf) is in the squad to face Arsenal on Saturday.
Impact Lewis-Potter returns from a calf injury which has kept him out of Brentford's past five matches. The attacker has made six appearances totaling 220 minutes thus far in the league.
NOVEMBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Mikkel Damsgaard - Nearing return Damsgaard (knee) is nearing a return but is out for Saturday's clash with Arsenal, Brentford announced.
Impact Damsgaard will be out for Saturday's clash with Arsenal but is getting very close to a return. The midfielder could be ready to return as soon as a Dec. 2 clash with Luton, though he will likely get some minutes off the bench before pushing for a spot in the starting XI.
NOVEMBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Nathan Collins - Set for weeks out Collins is set for weeks on the sideline with an ankle injury, according to manager Thomas Frank.
Impact Collins will be sidelined for multiple weeks due to an ankle issue. The defender is a major loss, especially heading into the busiest part of the schedule. Zanka could see more minutes in the back line, though against weaker opposition Brentford will shift to a back four, meaning Ben Mee and Ethan Pinnock will partner, and struggle less with the absence of Collins.

Keane Lewis-Potter - Back on grass Lewis-Potter (calf) was spotted training on grass Friday, ahead of Saturday's clash with Arsenal.
Impact Lewis-Potter was reportedly nearing a return before the international break and is now back training on grass. The forward could return as soon as Saturday's clash with Arsenal, especially now that he is training outside once more.

Kristoffer Ajer - Signs long-term extension Ajer agreed to terms on a contract extension through 2028 on Tuesday that includes a one-year team option.
Impact Ajer has started six straight matches for the Bees coming into the international break. In those outings, the defender recorded two shots (zero on target), six crosses (two accurate) and six chances created. Ajer should remain a fixture in the starting XI for Brentford moving forward, regardless of whether to club is using a four-man backline or three at the back.

Yoane Wissa - Maintains role in starting XI Wissa has registered three goals on 31 shots (nine on target) and one assist on ten chances created in 12 starts this season.
Impact Wissa looks to be a regular starter for a third season in a row, starting in all 12 of the club's matches this campaign. He has been decent in his time on the pitch, registering four goal contributions, with his last coming Oct. 21 against Burnley. The forward should remain in a starting role but may lose a bit of production once Ivan Toney returns from his ban.

Mark Flekken - Blown away Sunday Flekken recorded eight saves and allowed three goals in Sunday's 3-0 loss versus Liverpool.
Impact Flekken stopped eight shots, an incredible showing, the unfortunate bit is he also conceded three goals. It's one that can be written off, Liverpool are looking like true title contenders once more and will put multiple goals past plenty of teams before the season is done. Flekken will have easier opponents in the future.

Mads Roerslev Rasmussen - Single shot in loss Roerslev recorded one shot (zero on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Sunday's 3-0 loss against Liverpool.
Impact Roerslev had a tough day at left-back trying to contain the ever-dangerous Mohamed Salah. In the end he just couldn't stop the brilliant winger and was brought off after 72 minutes. Roerslev will have easier days in the future against opponents that are far less threatening than Salah.

Christian Norgaard - Fills stat sheet Norgaard recorded two shots (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Sunday's 3-0 loss to Liverpool. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 30th...
Impact Norgaard was busy in ever aspect of Sunday's match and put together some strong passages of play. He couldn't find end product though and his yellow card limited his tackling in the second half. Norgaard has some upside going forward, but that mostly comes against easier opponents. Norgaard's assist-upside will be stronger when Ivan Toney returns from suspension as he has created 12 chances this season without an assist.
