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.

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.

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.

NOVEMBER 21, 2023 • THEATHLETIC.COM

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.

NOVEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Bryan Mbeumo - Major volume in loss Mbeumo registered three shots (one on goal), eight crosses (three accurate) and seven corners in Sunday's 3-0 defeat versus Liverpool.

Impact Mbeumo piled on the volume but just couldn't do enough to beat Alisson. The striker has been struggling to find the back of the net since his hot start, but he has still put together some impressive floor showings. When Ivan Toney returns Mbeumo will have a much more polished striker in the attack to play around.

Impact Flekken returns from a leg injury in time to start for Brentford on Sunday. The keeper has allowed 12 goals in 11 league starts, keeping three clean sheets and making 20 saves.

Keane Lewis-Potter - Nearing return Lewis-Potter (calf) has been training with the squad this week and is close to a return, according to the club.

Impact Lewis-Potter is still sidelined with his injury but seems to be nearing a return after participating in training this week. The forward has been sidelined the past four contests and will hope to return soon, as he started the two matches leading up to his knock. When he does return, he could contend for starting time immediately but most likely will only earn a bench role in his first couple of matches back in action.

NOVEMBER 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Kevin Schade - Won't return until new year Schade (groin) is "on track" in his rehabilitation but won't return till the new year, the club announced Friday.

Impact Schade is still working on his return and seems to be making good progress, according to the club, but he won't return until the new year as he continues his rehabilitation. The attacker has been out of action since September and will hope to end his spell on the sidelines as soon as possible, as he was a regular starter before the injury.

Mark Flekken - Option for weekend Flekken (leg) took part in team training this week and will be an option for Sunday's match against Liverpool, according to the club.

Impact Flekken looks to be healthy and set for action on Sunday after taking part in full training this week. He had suffered a dead leg in last weekend's contest against West Ham, but the injury seems to be behind him now. If he is listed to the match-day squad, expect him to make the starting XI, with Thomas Strakosha returning to the bench.

NOVEMBER 8, 2023 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Thomas Strakosha - Plays 45 minutes versus West Ham Strakosha didn't face any shot after subbing in at halftime during Saturday's 3-2 win over West Ham.

Impact Strakosha was brought at halftime to replace injured Mark Flekken (knock) but didn't see any action as his side completely controlled actions during the second frame to get a huge come-from-behind win. Since Flekken is supposed to be recovered for Nov. 12 visit to Liverpool, it's very likely Strakosha will be on the bench once again.

NOVEMBER 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Mathias Jensen - Delivers assist versus West Ham Jensen made an assist, created two chances and sent in four crosses (two accurate) during Saturday's 3-2 win over West Ham.

Impact Jensen had another impactful performance for Brentford, this time assisting the goal that sealed the 3-2 win with a picture-perfect cross from the right flank that was headed home by Nathan Collins. That's now three goals and two assists over 11 starts this season for the midfielder, who remains one of the biggest hopes for a team in search of even higher flights after already finishing in the top half of the table last year.
