Aaron Hickey - Walks off holding ankle Hickey (ankle) was brought off holding his ankle during the second half of Tuesday's clash with Spain.
Impact Hickey was brought off holding his ankle and in apparent discomfort in the closing stages of Tuesday's clash. The defender was able to come off under his own power, though any sort of ankle injury will be a concern. Hickey will be questionable for a Saturday trip to Brighton back in Premier League action.

Thomas Strakosha - Active for Albania Strakosha (ankle) was active in the starting XI with Albania throughout the international break.
Impact Strakosha was fit enough to return for the national team where he played a part in Monday's 1-0 loss. The goalkeeper should be available in domestic action once more, though he likely remains behind David Raya in net.

Mads Roerslev Rasmussen - Back in training Roerslev (hamstring) was pictured training with Brentford on Friday.
Impact Roerslev missed Brentford's last three games heading into the international break with a hamstring injury, but he returned to what looked like individual training on Friday. When fit, he's made 15 Premier League appearances (10 starts) at right wing-back this season, but Aaron Hickey's recent return from his own injury should relegate Roerslev back to the bench.

Mathias Jensen - Active for Denmark Jensen (knock) played 77 minutes during Thursday's 3-1 win over Finland in Eero qualifiers.
Impact Jensen was active straight away for Denmark, as expected and played 77 minutes in Thursday's. The midfielder avoided any major injury and should be fully fit and available for when the Premier League reconvenes with an April 1 trip to Brighton. He's started every match for the Bees since the World Cup break and that's not expected to end, though he's been an early sub pre-80th minute the last three matches.

Racism, gambling, goals; the remarkable rise of Ivan Toney
Ivan Toney has been racially abused and faces a potential ban for allegedly breaking gambling rulesMARCH 22, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Ivan Toney - Takes two shots in draw Toney had two shots (zero on goal) and two crosses (zero accurate) in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Leicester City.
Impact Toney has not been the most consistent player for Brentford of late, but he still has three goals across his last six appearances while attempting multiple shots five times over that span. The striker has racked up 16 goals across 25 outings so far and his starting role is completely safe going forward.
MARCH 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Bryan Mbeumo - Active as crossing threat Mbeumo recorded three shots (zero on goal), 11 crosses (two accurate) and five corners in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Leicester City.
Impact Mbeumo couldn't find the back of the net Saturday, but there's no question he was a constant source of danger for the Bees, highlighted by the fact that he sent a season-high 11 crosses. He has failed to find the scoresheet in each of his last four appearances, however, and that limits his upside.
MARCH 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
David Raya - Concedes once in draw David Raya registered no saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Leicester City.
Impact Raya couldn't do much on the goal he conceded, as he had to rush out to close the angle on Harvey Barnes, who coolly placed the ball past him. Raya should remain in the starting lineup when the league resumes, as Brentford have two complicated road matches against Brighton and Manchester United following the international break.
MARCH 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Pontus Jansson - Comes off bench in draw Jansson subbed in and played the final few minutes of Saturday's 1-1 draw against Leicester City.
Impact Jansson has featured as a substitute in each of Brentford's last two Premier League matches after recovering from a hamstring injury he'd been dealing with since early October. He will aim to challenge Ben Mee and Ethan Pinnock to break back into the starting lineup in central defense once he works his way back up to full fitness.
MARCH 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Aaron Hickey - Wins four tackles in draw Hickey made a block, two clearances and an interception in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Leicester City. He also won four of five tackles in the match.
Impact Hickey has started six of Brentford's last seven Premier League matches at right-back since returning from an ankle injury that had sidelined him for almost four months from October-February.

Mathias Jensen - Expected to be fine Jensen is expected to be fine after suffering a knock to his hip in Saturday's match against Leicester City, according to manager Thomas Frank. "Nothing serious, a little with the...
Impact Jensen has been a constant in the starting XI this season and that's led to five goals and four assists in 27 starts. His actual health should be made clear if he's played with Denmark over the international break. For now, the thought is that he's fine and will be back in the starting XI out of the break.
MARCH 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Shandon Baptiste - Sent off with two yellows Baptiste picked up two yellow cards in just 14 minutes off the bench of Saturday's 1-1 draw against Leicester City. He'll be suspended for the April 1 trip to Brighton following th...
Impact Baptiste is back from injury, but he's played just 21 minutes across the last six matches. He's unfortunately further down the depth chart than earlier in the season, as Vitaly Janelt, Mikkel Damsgaard and Josh Dasilva have all been fairly healthy and playing in that midfield role.

Mathias Jensen - Scores before knock Jensen (knock) came off during the second half of Saturday's one-all draw with Leicester.
Impact Jensen was forced off with a knock, though it didn't appear to be major. The midfielder has the international break to recover before an Apr. 1 trip to Brighton back in the Premier League.

Mads Roerslev Rasmussen - Confirmed as out Roerslev is not in the match day squad to face Leicester City on Saturday.
Impact Roerslev misses out again as he continues to recover from a hamstring injury. Aaron Hickey continues to start in his place as Roerslev will hope to return to the squad following the international break.

Vitaly Janelt - Out against Leicester Janelt (knee) will miss Saturday's match against Leicester City, according to manager Thomas Frank. "The thing we can say is that he won't be available for Saturday, but we need mo...
Impact Brentford are taking things slow with Janelt, who is hopeful not be out an extended period. He'd lost a consistent starting role of late, which means Brentford at least have the depth to come into the midfield with Josh Dasilva and Mikkel Damsgaard both being options to enter the midfield Saturday against Leicester, as well as going forward.
MARCH 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Mads Roerslev Rasmussen - Doubt for weekend Roerslev (hamstring) is considered touch-and-go for Saturday's match against Leicester City, according to manager Thomas Frank.
Impact Roerslev has missed the last two matches with a hamstring injury and there's little reason to risk him Saturday before the international break. He's been used a bit in the second half of the season, but he's been behind Aaron Hickey in the depth chart of late and his absence won't change things for Brentford as long as Hickey is healthy.
MARCH 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Kristoffer Ajer - Dealing with calf issue Ajer continues to deal with a calf injury and will miss Saturday's match against Leicester City, according to manager Thomas Frank.
Impact Ajer missed the midweek match against Southampton and will remain out with the issue. It seems to be a lost season for Ajer, who opened with a hamstring injury, got a few starts, picked up a knee injury, got a few starts, and now is injured again. Fortunately for Brentford, Aaron Hickey has come into the XI this season and had an almost seamless transition to the Premier League.
