Impact Raya had a quiet game on Saturday against Bournemouth. He was not called upon to make any saves. Bournemouth's one shot on target was blocked.From eight appearances (all starts) he has conceded 12 goals and produced two clean sheets. He will likely have a tougher test in Brentford's next game against Newcastle at St James' Park. The Magpies have scored in five of their last six EPL matches.

Aaron Hickey - Busy defensively Hickey has made 19 tackles and conceded three yellow cards while starting in seven games to open the 2022/23 season.

Impact Hickey has stepped up his efforts in the last month with 15 tackles in his last three starts but also with three yellow cards conceded in his last four starts. If he can limit the attentions of the referee on his actions, then Hickey is offering decent defensive production at the moment.

Ethan Pinnock - Working on fitness Pinnock (knee) is edging closer to a return to the squad, according to manager Thomas Frank."He is looking sharper and sharper. Let's say we didn't have any centre-backs, could he...

Impact Pinnock missed the first two months of the season, but he's on the cusp of being ready and it looks like Frank won't push him back into the XI. Considering Ben Mee is now in the squad and Kristoffer Ajer is healthy, it may be another week before Pinnock gets minutes with the senior team and a return to the starting XI could be multiple weeks away.

Keane Lewis-Potter - Still out after break Lewis-Potter (ankle) remains unavailable for Saturday's trip to Bournemouth, manager Thomas Frank revealed at his press conference.

Impact It's not a good sign for Lewis-Potter, who was unable to recover from the "minor injury" during the international break. He was on back-to-back starts prior to injury and his absence may mean more five-man back lines for Brentford, especially since Kristoffer Ajer is available to start again.

Christian Norgaard - Remains weeks away Norgaard (Achilles) remains weeks away from a return, manager Thomas Frank revealed to the media.

Impact The severity of the Achilles injury was never made clear for Norgaard, who has already missed a month with the issue despite not originally needing surgery. It's something that could bug him until the World Cup and there's a real chance he doesn't return for Brentford before then. Fortunately, Brentford are deeper in the midfield this season and guys like Vitaly Janelt and Shandon Baptiste are options to fill in.

Mathias Jensen - Playing with Denmark Jensen (undisclosed) came off the bench in Denmark's match against Croatia on Thursday.

Impact Jensen supposedly came off with an injury in Brentford's last league match, but he's clearly fit and playing with the national team less than a week later. As long as he doesn't pick up another injury in the next week, he should remain in the starting XI for the Oct. 1 trip to Bournemouth. In seven starts this season he's produced one goal and two assists from five shots and 11 chances created with 21 corners taken.

Ethan Pinnock - Features in friendly Pinnock (knee) started and played 80 minutes in Thursday's behind-closed-doors friendly against Reading.

Impact This had been the plan for Pinnock for a couple weeks and it looks like he went 80 minutes unscathed having not played for Brentford since last season. It's unlikely he'll immediately crack the starting XI after the break, but along with the recent return of Kristoffer Ajer, it looks like the Bees are fairly deep in the back and will have questions in their starting XI. New signing Ben Mee has been a solid addition and it's unknown who will eventually win the starting job on the back line with everyone healthy.

Mathias Jensen - Forced off against Arsenal Jensen had to be replaced by Shandon Baptiste after 69 minutes of Sunday's match against Arsenal following a challenge.

Impact Jensen's exit is likely a precaution with the international break giving a chance to recover if needed and with his side down three goals when his substitution was made. He's already recorded two assists this season and taken on an active role from set pieces so keep an eye out for who might take over his production should Jensen miss any matches.

Keane Lewis-Potter - Unavailable against Arsenal Lewis-Potter will miss Sunday's match against Arsenal due to a minor injury, Brentford announced.

Kristoffer Ajer - Ready for minutes Ajer made his first squad of the season against Leeds and will be an option going forward.

Impact Ajer started 23 matches last season and was used whenever in the squad, but following a return from injury, he doesn't have a guaranteed spot at the moment. In addition to playing more of a four-man back line, Brentford added Ben Mee and Aaron Hickey, which makes it difficult for Ajer to immediately return to the XI. Still, given a busy October, he may end up swapping starts with Hickey at right-back, if not playing as a center-back in a five-man defense.
