Mikkel Damsgaard - Set to see knee specialist Damsgaard will see a knee specialist this week, according to manager Thomas Frank.

Impact This isn't a great update for Damsgaard, who was supposedly dealing with a groin issue last week. He's been out since August and any time you have to see a specialist, it's usually not good. At this point, there's no reason to expect him back before the next international break and his absence could extend even further.

Ben Mee - Expected out multiple weeks Mee will miss multiple weeks with a muscle injury, confirmed manager Thomas Frank.

Impact Mee picked up a knock in the Sept. 16 contest which was deemed nothing and it seems like he made things worse at some point in training leading up to the Everton match. At a minimum, he'll be out until the international break with Nathan Collins next up on the depth chart, though Kristoffer Ajer and Zanka can also feature on the back line no matter the formation.

Kevin Schade - Set for adductor surgery Schade will undergo surgery on his adductor injury this week and will be out "months," according to manager Thomas Frank.

Impact It's a tough injury for Schade, who suffered the injury in the warm-up prior to Sunday's match against Everton. As with any muscle injury, he'll undergo surgery and then work on strengthening his muscle for about a month before getting back on the pitch. Having been the third forward option for Brentford to open the season, Keane-Lewis Potter will be next up for minutes unless Frank opts to play in a 5-3-2 formation no matter the opponent.

Impact Janelt assisted on Brentford's only goal of the match, as he set up teammate Mathias Jensen for a shot from the right of the goal. Janelt tired one attempt of his own but had it blocked, before subbing out in the 61st minute. With the assist, Janelt ties his total from last season and could be on pace for his most productive season yet.

Kevin Schade - Late scratch against Everton Schade was a late scratch from Saturday's match against Everton due to an injury picked up in warmups.

Impact Schade was set to return to the starting XI Saturday, but an injury forced him out with Keane Lewis-Potter taking his place. At home against Everton, no matter who starts up front, Brentford should get plenty of opportunities to hit the back of the net.

Ben Mee - Out with muscular injury Mee is out of Saturday's match against Brentford due to a muscular injury.

Impact Mee was in contention to start at center-back, but the muscular injury has ruled him out altogether, meaning Nathan Collins will start alongside Ethan Pinnock. The severity of the injury is unclear, but Mee's next chance to play will come against Nottingham Forest on Oct. 1.

Mikkel Damsgaard - Not playing Saturday Damsgaard (groin) is not in the squad for Saturday's match against Everton.

Impact Damsgaard was deemed questionable to feature in this one, and in the end, he couldn't even crack the bench. His next chance to feature will come against Nottingham Forest on Oct. 1.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Kristoffer Ajer - Available off bench Ajer (undisclosed) is available off the bench for Saturday's clash against Everton.

Impact Ajer was in contention to start at right-back, but manager Thomas Frank opted to start Mads Roerslev, leaving Ajer as a backup option to play either right-back or center-back. The Norway international has struggled with injuries of late, and that has limited him to just one start all season long.

Mikkel Damsgaard - Questionable for Everton match Damsgaard is questionable for Saturday's match against Everton, according to manager Thomas Frank. "Damsgaard still has a little bit of [an issue] going on so maybe he'll be availa...

Impact Damsgaard's status for Saturday's match is still in question after manager Thomas Frank said he didn't know if he would be an option for the game. The attacker was close to returning last week, so it is a bit surprising to see him as questionable again this week. Even if he does make the squad against Everton, he will most likely only be a substitute, as he was in the first three games before his injury.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Kristoffer Ajer - Option for Saturday Ajer (undisclosed) is available for Saturday's match against Everton, after manager Thomas Frank stated, "Kristoffer is fully fit and available for tomorrow."

Impact Ajer could be making his return to the pitch on Saturday following his recovery from an undisclosed injury. The defender picked up the knock during the international break and only missed one match due to the injury. The Norwegian will most likely only be an option off the bench against Everton after only earning one start prior to his absence.
