Christian Eriksen - Plays 38 minutes in debut Eriksen created one chance, sent in four crosses (one accurate) and made one tackle (won) in 38 minutes during Saturday's 2-0 loss to Newcastle.

Impact Eriksen's debut was tougher than expected after they lost Ryan DaSilva for a straight red card early in the first half. The midfielder subbed on for Mathias Jensen in the 52nd minute, his first official appearance since last summer, and co-led his side in crosses despite the limited time in the field. He will now look for more playing time when they visit Norwich on Saturday.

Vitaly Janelt - Takes one shot versus Newcastle Janelt registered one shot on target, one inaccurate cross, one interception, two clearances, one block and a yellow card in Saturday's 2-0 loss to Newcastle.

Impact Janelt couldn't do much to avoid the home loss after Josh DaSilva was sent off in the 11th minute. The midfielder also received his third yellow card of the season. He will now look to bounce back when they visit Norwich on Saturday.

Bryan Mbeumo - Sends in four crosses in loss Mbeumo registered one off-target shot, one chance created, four crosses (one accurate), one tackle (won), one clearance and a yellow card in Saturday's 2-0 loss to Newcastle.

David Raya - Makes nine saves in loss Raya made nine saves and one clearance in Saturday's 2-0 loss to Newcastle.

Impact Raya had a good outing and made a season-high nine saves, but it wasn't enough to avoid the home loss, since they were down one man since the 11th minute. The goalkeeper has four clean sheets in the season in 13 starts. He will look to bounce back at Norwich on Saturday.

Ivan Toney - Plays 28 minutes in loss Toney had one shot off target and one chance created in 28 minutes of Saturday's 2-0 loss against Newcastle.

Impact Toney came into the match with Brentford down a man and down two goals Saturday. While they pressured with Christian Eriksen also on the pitch, they couldn't find a goal, which has been a problem all season. The good news is that Toney is healthy again after sitting our the prior three contests.

Pelenda Da Silva - Sent off early Saturday Dasilva was sent off with a straight red card in the 11th minute of Saturday's match against Newcastle following a VAR review on a late challenge.

Impact Dasilva is back from injury, but he's still not fully in form and this tackle kind of highlighted that. This sending off put Brentford in a massive hole in a winnable spot against Newcastle and will likely see Dasilva suspended a few matches. Going further, he may have lost his spot in the starting XI now that Christian Eriksen is an option.

Mathias Jensen - Stays in starting XI Jensen (leg) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Newcastle.

Impact Jensen remains in the XI Saturday after leaving last weekend with a dead leg. He often has an exclusive role on set pieces, but that hasn't meant much in recent matches and also having Christian Eriksen on the bench isn't helpful to Jensen going a full 90.

Mathias Jensen - Should be available against Newcastle Jensen (leg) was not mentioned in manager Thomas Frank's team news on Friday, but he should be available for Saturday's clash against Newcastle United.

Impact Jensen suffered a dead leg in last weekend's defeat against Arsenal, but he is expected to have recovered and should be fit for Saturday's game.

Ivan Toney - Available against Newcastle Brentford manager Thomas Frank said Friday that Toney (calf) "will be involved in the squad" for Saturday's clash against Newcastle.

Impact Toney has missed his side's last three Premier League games with a calf injury, but he has recovered and could be in for a start at the weekend. He had scored in each of his last two appearances against Manchester United and Wolves at the end of January before suffering his injury.

Christian Eriksen - Will play Saturday Eriksen will be in the squad and make the pitch at some point Saturday against Newcastle, according to manager Thomas Frank.

Impact It's unlikely Eriksen will be in the starting XI in his first match with the senior team, but he will play, so he'll be on the pitch at some point. Assuming he moves into the starting XI, it'll likely be for Vitaly Janelt, though given recent performances, anyone is on the table to be removed from the XI and that includes the oft-injured Mathias Jensen.

Ivan Toney - Pictured in training Toney (calf) was pictured in training Tuesday ahead of Saturday's match against Newcastle.

Impact Toney has missed the last three matches with a calf issue, but it looks like he's on his way back. If healthy, he could be back in the XI against Newcastle after Brentford struggled to find the back of the net without him, as Yoane Wissa started the last two contests.
