Sergi Canos - Dealing with hamstring injury Canos has been dealing with a hamstring injury in the preseason and is about two or three weeks away, according to manager Thomas Frank.

Impact Canos is already suspended for the first match of the season and this hamstring injury will keep him out longer. While he showed some sparks last season, including scoring a goal in the campaign opener, he eventually lost a starting job due to a formation switch and the addition of Aaron Hickey will only limit playing time for Canos in the new season.

Christian Norgaard - Features in preseason match Norgaard (knee) started and played 62 minutes in Saturday's preseason victory against Real Betis.

Impact Norgaard made his return to the pitch as expected Saturday and he should be available for selection in next weekend's opener against Leicester City.

Impact Ajer is likely another week away from training, if not more, but it's at least a good sign that he's back on the pitch. It's a wonder what his role will turn into, as Brentford have used mostly a four-man back line in the preseason which has featured Aaron Hickey and Rico Henry at full-back. Plus, new signing Ben Mee adds more competition for starts at center-back.
