Yoane Wissa - Scores in win Wissa scored a goal off four shots (two on target) during Saturday's 3-0 win over Southampton.

Impact Wissa was back in the starting Xi after coming off the bench during the previous two matches.

This was Wissa's sixth goal over 28 appearances (10 starts) this season. He'll hope this helps him to remain in the lineup for May 15 visit to Everton.

The striker was very active during the entire match, always being involved in dangerous plays. With 12 goals and five assists over 31 appearances this season, Toney will try to remain productive during May 15 visit to Everton.

Ethan Pinnock - Out against Southampton Pinnock (hamstring) will miss at least one more match, according to manager Thomas Frank.

Impact Pinnock will miss his third-straight contest this weekend, as Brentford try to rebound from a recent loss. Mads Bech Sorensen will likely get another start Saturday against Southampton, while Pinnock will hope to be back in the XI for the final two contests of the season.

Frank Onyeka - Training with physios Onyeka (ankle) is training with the physios but is a doubt to play again this season, according to manager Thomas Frank.

Impact Onyeka has been out almost two months with this ankle injury and in order to return, he'd likely need a couple weeks of full training to get back his fitness. With just three weeks to go in the season, there's no reason to expect him back on the pitch.

Saman Ghoddos - Running on pitch Ghoddos (ankle) is out of his boot and running, according to manager Thomas Frank.

Impact Ghoddos is out of his boot, but he's still clearly not ready to compete for minutes. He's only been out a week, but he'll need to get back in full training before he can get minutes again and at that point, he may only have one or two more chances to feature this season.

Sergi Canos - Out another match Canos (undisclosed) will miss at least one more match, according to manager Thomas Frank.

Impact Canos will miss his fourth-straight match this weekend, but it looks like he should be back in training next week. However, even prior to injury, he was moved to a bench role, so there's a chance Canos may not get another start this season, as he'll only have two more chances.

Bryan Mbeumo - Takes three shots in loss Mbeumo took three shots (one on target) and created a chance in Monday's 3-0 defeat against Manchester United.

Impact Mbeumo had a few opportunities Monday but he couldn't find a way past David De Gea and into United's net. He only has one goal in 16 appearances in so far in 2022 -- although in fairness he also has six assists -- and he'll want to get on the score sheet again before the season ends.

Impact Toney hasn't scored in three games now, but he's taken a combined 10 shots and created five chances in that span. He has 12 goals and four assists in his rookie Premier League season, and the opportunities are likely to keep coming next weekend against Southampton, which have conceded 58 times in 35 matches.

Christian Eriksen - Takes three shots in loss Eriksen took three shots (two on target) and created two chances in Monday's 3-0 defeat against Manchester United. He also won one of two tackles in the match.

Impact Eriksen was his usual dangerous self on Monday, but this time it wasn't enough to earn a result or find a goal against United. He has 16 shots (eight on target) and 15 chances created across his seven Premier League starts this season, and he'll be ready for more next weekend against Southampton, which have conceded 58 times in 35 matches.

David Raya - Concedes three goals against Man United Raya made three saves but conceded three goals in Monday's 3-0 defeat against Manchester United.

Impact Raya was beaten by strikes from Bruno Fernandes, Cristiano Ronaldo (from the penalty spot) and Raphael Varane on Monday, but his side is still likely safe from relegation. Next weekend he will face Southampton, which have scored 41 goals in 35 matches this season.

Kristoffer Ajer - Back in starting XI Ajer (concussion) is in the starting XI for Monday's match against Manchester United.

Impact Ajer returns to the starting XI Monday after missing the last match with a concussion. While he's been a right-back the last few matches, it looks like he's set for center-back again with Brentford in a back three. No matter, he doesn't offer a ton of attacking upside despite accruing a few assists over the last couple months.

Saman Ghoddos - Dealing with ankle issue Ghoddos will not be available versus Manchester United on Monday with an ankle problem.

Impact Considering Ghoddos has been an unused substitute for five of the club's last 10 contests and made just one start over that stretch, few fantasy players are likely to be impacted by his absence. Even once cleared to play, Ghoddos will be hard-pressed to secure regular minutes, making him a relative non-factor in fantasy contests.

Kristoffer Ajer - Could return Monday Ajer (concussion) may be cleared to play against Manchester United on Monday.

Impact Ajer is poised to return following just one game on the sidelines due to his concussion. In his previous five outings, the defender made for appearances in a right-back role but still offered limited offensive production with one assist, three shots (zero on target) and four crosses (one accurate).
