Igor Thiago - Gets more run with U21s Thiago started Tuesday's match with the U21s after playing 18 minutes off the bench Saturday against Everton.

Impact Thiago continues to ramp up his fitness and he could be an option to start in upcoming games if Thomas Frank deems him worthy. The summer signing missed the first three months of the season with a knee injury and now provides the Bees with a different type of attacker in the front, meaning minutes for someone like Yoane Wissa could dip.

Impact Norgaard was shown the red card right at the end of the first half and will now serve a three-match ban.

Gustavo Nunes - Still needs time Nunes (back) will not be an option for Saturday's match against Everton as the match comes "a little bit too early," according to manager Thomas Frank.

Impact Nunes will need around another week before he is fit for a return, with the attacker being sidelined for another week, delaying his season debut. However, the positive news is he is close to fit, likely only needing a week or two more. Once he does return, the attacker will likely see a rotational role.

Impact Thiago is set to suit up for the first time this campaign, with the forward finally ready for his return after undergoing meniscus surgery earlier in the season. This is a big moment for the Brazilian, as these will also be his first minuets with the Bees if he sees the field. That said, he will hope to get some time in the match, as he is likely to only see time off the bench to begin.

Impact Pinnock looks to only have only been dealing with minor issues after sitting out against the USMNT while serving with Jamaica, as he is expected to return Saturday.

Bryan Mbeumo - Set for return Mbeumo (undisclosed) is set for a return against Everton on Saturday, according to manager Thomas Frank. "All of them I expect to be available and ready. Sometimes a week's rest ca...

Impact Mbeumo has healed from his injury concerns after withdrawing from his national team, as he is expected to be an option of Saturday's contest.

Ethan Pinnock - Won't face USMNT Pinnock will not face the USMNT on Monday due to injury, according to Jon Arnold of EPSN FC.

Impact Pinnock is still recovering from an issue he picked up in the club's last match despite playing the full 90, as he is being held out for Monday's CONCACAF Nations League match due to undisclosed issues. He has had little information released on the situation thus far, with scans or testing yet to take place.

Keane Lewis-Potter - Six crosses Saturday Lewis-Potter registered three chances created, four clearances and six crosses in Saturday's 3-2 win against Bournemouth.

Impact Lewis-Potter continues to see regular time this campaign, starting in nine of his 11 appearances. He has been able to maintain his role through his versatility, having started in three different positions this season. His two-way efforts have given him some value, notching one assist on nine chances created, 10 shots and 22 crosses in the attack to go along with four interceptions, 11 clearances and 16 tackles in the defense.

Ben Mee - Finding little playing time Mee has only appeared in two of the club's 11 league matches this season.

Impact Mee has greatly seen his role reduced since returning from an injury that ended his last campaign early, as he has only featured twice off the bench this season after starting in nearly every contest he was available for last campaign. It is likely his production isn't the same following the injury, although it is wild to see this far of a drop, only receiving four minutes of play thus far. He will likely have to see an increase in form before he sees any starting time again, seeing most of his time in cup ties.

NOVEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Yehor Yarmoliuk - Sees time from bench Yarmolyuk registered one tackle won and two clearances off the bench in Saturday's 3-2 win over Brentford.

Impact Yarmolyuk appeared off the bench once again Saturday, still only starting in one of his seven appearances this season. He doesn't look likely to see much more of a role, probably following suit to last season where he only saw six starts in 27 appearances. Even when he does appear in games, he is a hard ask for a goal contribution, as he has yet to register one in the Premier League since joining the Bees in 2022.

NOVEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Mathias Jensen - One EPL start since September Jensen has made just one start in the Premier League since the beginning of September.

Impact The midfielder missed five straight games between September and October due to a calf injury, but he's struggled to recover the starting role he had in the early stages of the campaign. His fantasy upside will remain reduced as long as he continues to come off the bench.

Impact Wissa withdrew from the national team, though there were no details about what sort of injury he might be dealing with. During the busiest part of the schedule it's not surprising that he's carrying some sort of concern, though barring any negative updates he should be fit for a Nov. 23 trip to Everton.
