Mads Roerslev - Three crosses off bench Roerslev generated three crosses (zero accurate) and one tackle in Saturday's 2-1 loss versus Manchester City.

Impact Roerslev had a short outing Saturday, only being called on in the 18th minute as a substitute. This marks his second straight appearance as a substitute after starting in their opening two matches of the campaign. He will look to see regular time again soon, which seems likely, as he did start in 22 of his 34 appearances last season and is a versatile player who can play in the defense or midfield.

Ethan Pinnock - Solid outing Saturday Pinnock registered three shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 2-1 defeat against Manchester City.

Impact Pinnock had a decent outing against City despite his team taking the loss, as he registered three shots in the attack to go along with one interception, five clearances and six tackles in the defense. This marks his second match in a row with five clearances, and his third time doing so in four appearances. He also has yet to miss a start in those four appearances, playing the full 90 in each.

Mark Flekken - Allows two against City Flekken had five saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-1 loss against Manchester City.

Impact Flekken wasn't terrible Saturday but he still couldn't deny Erling Haaland from continuing his hot streak, as the goalie would allow two goals despite making five saves. He still has not bagged a clean sheet this season, although he has recorded five or more saves in all four outings to begin the campaign. He will hope for his first clean sheet of the season when facing Tottenham on Saturday in the club's next match.

Yoane Wissa - Forced off with ankle Wissa was forced off in the first half of Saturday's clash with Manchester City.

Impact Wissa was forced off due to an ankle injury after a hefty tackle. The forward was replaced by Kevin Schade, who is more of a winger than out-and-out striker. Wissa will have little time to return due to a busy mid-week schedule, his next Premier League clash will be a Saturday trip to Spurs.

Kristoffer Ajer - Starting against City Ajer (undisclosed) is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash with Manchester City.

Impact Ajer returns to the starting XI for Saturday's match after overcoming a knock. The defender was always expected to make his return and is right on schedule to get back in the starting XI.

Gustavo Nunes - Suffers stress fracture in back Nunes is set to miss out on the next couple of weeks due to a minor stress fracture in his back, according to manager Thomas Frank. "Gustavo is a player I believe can help us soon...

Impact Nunes has missed out on the start of the season with his issues and will continue on that path for the next few weeks, as he continues to suffer from a stress fracture. This is unfortunate news for the attacker, although a return is on the horizon. That said, he will likely miss out until the end of the month, hoping to see his return sometime in October.

Rico Henry - Remains out Henry (knee) is out for Saturday's match against Manchester City, according to manager Thomas Frank. "Rico will not be available, unfortunately. He's still on track but got a minor...

Impact Henry will remain on the sidelines following a minor setback, picking up muscle issues while recovering from his knee injury. However, the defender is expected to be back on the training pitch ahead of the match, implying he is close to a return. That said, he will likely be an option or at least questionable heading into the club's next contest.

Mathias Jensen - Out a couple of weeks Jensen is out for the next couple of weeks due to a calf injury, according to manager Thomas Frank. "[Jensen] got a calf injury so will be out for the weekend. He'll be out for a c...

Impact Jensen has been handed an unfortunate fate, as the midfielder will be out the next couple of weeks due to a calf injury he picked up in training. He has started in all three matches to begin the season, so this will force a change. That said, expect Mikkel Damsgaard until Jensen is fit again, likely not reaching the goal until the end of the month.

Kristoffer Ajer - Available again Ajer (undisclosed) is available for Saturday's match against Manchester City, according to manager Thomas Frank. "Ajer trained today and trained Tuesday- he is available for Saturd...

Impact Ajer went down with an injury just ahead of the international break but has already overcome those issues to be an option Saturday. He should be expected to reassume a starting spot immediately now that he is fit, starting in all three matches to open the season.

Rico Henry - Picks up another injury Henry has been held out of Thursday's friendly against QPR as a precaution due to a small knock he picked up, according to his club.

Impact Henry has picked up another injury, as after dealing with knee issues, he was held out due to a small knock he picked up before Thursday's match in training. This appears to be a minor issue but it will be something to continue to monitor, as he has yet to debut this campaign due to his ongoing issues.

Kristoffer Ajer - Injury confirmed Ajer has been confirmed to be dealing with an injury, according to manager Thomas Frank, per Sam Tabuteau of the Borough of Hounslow Herald. "I don't know, I don't hope it's anythi...

Impact Ajer went down in Saturday's win over Southampton, having gone down with an undisclosed issue. Those rumors are now confirmed, although a further report of his injury has yet to be released. That said, his injury has been deemed minor, so he isn't likely to miss much time, hoping to possibly get back on the field in their next match on Sept. 14 following the international break.

Nathan Collins - Fills stat sheet in win Collins had one off-target shot and made two tackles (one won), five clearances, two interceptions and three blocks during Saturday's 3-1 win over Southampton.

Impact Collins had another productive outing at the heart of the defense for Brentford, leading his team in clearances, interceptions and blocks while dominating opposing forwards. Currently the EPL's leader in blocks, with 11 over three starts, the center-back looks set for another dominant campaign.

SEPTEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Mikkel Damsgaard - Thrives in first season start Damsgaard had two shots (one on target), created three chances and made four tackles (three won) and two interceptions during Saturday's 3-1 win over Southampton.

Impact Damsgaard was part of the starting Xi for the first time this year and made most of the opportunity as he was dominant on both ends of the pitch, forming a great midfield partnership with fellow Denmark international Christian Norgaard. Damsgaard enters his third EPL campaign still in search of his first league goal for Brentford and his general fantasy production doesn't scream upside, but he definitely can provide occasional contributions if able to crack the lineup more frequently.

SEPTEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Christian Norgaard - Takes three shots in win Norgaard had three off-target shots, created one chance and made two tackles (both won), two clearances, one interception and one block during Saturday's 3-1 win over Southampton.

Impact Norgaard displayed his usual tenacity in the middle of the park but this time he also tried to contribute offensive by going up the field and step into opposition's box to finish plays. Games like this one are more probable to be outliers again this season, though, as the midfielder is mostly known for his production on the defensive end.

SEPTEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Mark Flekken - Makes five saves in win Flekken made five saves and conceded one goal during Saturday's 3-1 win over Southampton.

Impact Flekken had another great performance between the posts and even looked on his way to the first clean sheet of the year, but a beautiful strike from Adam Lallana deep into second half's stoppage time ruined his plans. Anyway, this has been a very productive start of campaign for the goalkeeper, who racked up an EPL-best 17 saves over three games.

SEPTEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Yoane Wissa - Scores in win over Saints Wissa scored a goal off six shots (two on target), created three chances and drew three fouls during Saturday's 3-1 win over Southampton.

Impact Wissa was back to his best after a quiet performance on the previous outing. The forward paced all players in shots attempted and his persistence was rewarded with the goal that gave Brentford a 3-1 lead in the 69th minute. That's now two goals and one assist over three starts to begin the season for Wissa, who will try to build on the success he had last year with his first double-digit scoring EPL campaign.

SEPTEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Mathias Jensen - Logs assist in win Jensen made an assist, had one off-target shot and created three chances during Saturday's 3-1 win over Southampton.

Impact Jensen had another productive outing, this time in a more centralized role in midfield, creating a lot for teammates and setting up Bryan Mbeumo for his team's second goal in the 65th minute. This was the first assist of the year for Jensen, who will hope to get back to form displayed two years ago when he was one of Brentford's top playmakers.

Bryan Mbeumo - Nets brace in win over Saints Mbeumo scored two goals off four shots (three on target), created three chances, sent in three crosses (one accurate) and was shown a yellow card during Saturday's 3-1 win over Sou...

Impact Mbeumo bounced back from his quiet performance on the previous match and did that in style as he was undoubtedly the best man on the pitch here, scoring once each half and being involved in many other dangerous plays for a dominant Brentford side. That's now three goals over three league starts to begin the season for the forward, who will probably benefit from an expanded offensive role after Ivan Toney's departure.
