Christian Norgaard - Dealing with knee injury Norgaard has been sidelined with a minor knee injury during Brentford's preseason so far, manager Thomas Frank said Tuesday, but he's aiming for a return to the pitch against Real...

Impact Norgaard tallied three goals and four assists in 35 Premier League appearances (all starts) last season, and his threat from midfield will become even more important this campaign after the departure of his international teammate Christian Eriksen. He is expected to be available to start this weekend and should be fully healthy by the start of the PL season on Aug. 7.

Ethan Pinnock - Will miss start of season Pinnock (knee) will have to miss the "first part of the season," Brentford manager Thomas Frank said Tuesday, after suffering a knee injury during preseason.

Impact It is unclear just how long Pinnock will have to miss as Brentford's Premier League opener comes on Aug. 7 and there are four more games even before September begins. New signing Ben Mee will likely partner Pontus Jansson in central defense until Pinnock is fit enough to return.

Ben Mee - Signs with Brentford Mee has signed a two-year contract with Brentford after ending his stay at Burnley earlier this summer.

Impact After a couple offseason injuries, Brentford were in need of some depth on their back line and they looked to Premier League veteran Mee. He started just 21 matches last season because of injury but hit 29 starts in each of the prior five campaigns. He could find himself immediately in the starting XI for the opener, as Ethan Pinnock and Kristoffer Ajer are both doubts to be ready.

Ethan Pinnock - Sustains knee injury Pinnock sustained a knee injury and is expected to miss the opening match of the season, reports The Athletic.

Impact It's another injury for the Brentford back line and there are reports that the club are going after Burnley veteran Ben Mee. It's a tough start to the season for Brentford and they'll hope to have Pinnock back shortly after he made 32 starts last season despite missing the final five matches with a hamstring injury.

Yehor Yarmoliuk - SIgns for Brentford Yarmoliuk joined Brentford from Ukrainian side Dnipro on Thursday. He's committed for up to four years and will begin with his new club's B team.

Impact Yarmoliuk has shown potential in his nation's youth teams but needs some time to get his career back on track after the turmoil in his homeland. Should he make the most of this opportunity, Yarmoliuk could be seen in the first team in a season or two.

Thomas Strakosha - Joins Brentford Strakosha joined Brentford on Thursday after leaving Lazio. He's committed to a three-year contract with an option for a fourth season.

Impact Strakosha started in 23 Serie A Matches and eight more in the Europa League last season, conceding 38 goals and keeping 11 clean sheets between those competitions. Given how consistently he's played aside from an injury during the 2020/21 season, Strakosha is a nice option to have who's capable of starting if David Raya loses form or decides to leave.

What Keane Lewis-Potter will bring to Brentford The 21-year-old should add depth to Thomas Frank's attack after joining Brentford from Hull City for a potential £20 million

JULY 12, 2022 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Keane Lewis-Potter - Joins Bees Lewis-Potter signed for Brentford from Hull City on Tuesday. He's committed to a six-year contract that holds a club option for a seventh season.

Impact Lewis-Potter is making and receiving an extraordinary commitment by signing a long contract but it was considered worthwhile after he scored 25 goals and logged nine assists over the last two seasons. Should he develop as he has so far, Lewis-Potter can be another talented and versatile attacker along with Ivan Toney, Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa. Initially, Lewis-Potter may not play as much until he proves what he can do at a higher level.

Aaron Hickey - Transfers to Brentford Hickey has agreed to a four-year contract with Brentford upon joining from Bologna, the team announced.

Impact Hickey heads to the Premier League after breaking out in 2021/2022, recording five goals, one assist, 52 crosses (eight accurate) and 46 tackles in 36 appearances with Bologna while featuring as a wingback on their flank. He will look to keep growing at his new club, which invested a sizeable sum to bring him in.

Matthew Cox - Signs new Brentford contract Cox signed a six-year contract with Brentford with an option for an extra year.

Impact Cox could be the future No. 1 for Brentford if he continues to progress. There's a chance he could serve as the No. 2 as soon as this season if Brentford don't add another goalkeeper behind David Raya. But at 19 years old, there's a chance he'll be used exclusively in the youth team this season.
