Yoane Wissa - Will make bench Sunday Wissa (ankle) will be on the bench for Sunday's match against Everton, according to manager Thomas Frank. "He is looking better which is positive. He still has a bit to go to get t...
Impact Wissa has been out for more than a month and will be brought back slowly, though he was mostly a bench option prior to injury. Either way, he gives Brentford another piece to use off the bench and he already has a couple goals scored, both coming in his last two appearances.

Zanka - Doubt for Everton Zanka (undisclosed) is likely to miss Sunday's match against Everton, according to manager Thomas Frank.
Impact Zanka suffered an injury three weeks ago and there still has been a lack of updates surrounding the issue. Mads Roerslev Rasmussen started in his place last game, but the return of Mads Bech Sorensen also gives Brentford another option on the back line.

Mads Bech Sorensen - Available after knee injury Sorensen is available for Sunday's match against Everton after recovering from his knee injury, according to manager Thomas Frank.
Impact Sorensen is available again after injuring his knee in the first month of the campaign. He's considered a depth option on the back line, but if fit, there's a chance he could move into the XI, as injuries to Kristoffer Ajer and Zanka are still a problem for Brentford.

Mathias Jensen - Available against Everton Jensen (COVID-19) is available for Sunday's match against Everton, according to manager Thomas Frank.
Impact Jensen got an extra week to recover from COVID-19 and get back in training, so there's a chance he could be in the XI Sunday. He had started four-straight matches prior to the break, so there's a decent chance he returns to the XI over Saman Ghoddos.

Frank Onyeka - Plays 31 minutes in draw Onyeka returned from COVID-19 to play 31 minutes off the bench in Saturday's 3-3 draw against Newcastle.
Impact Onyeka missed the match prior to the break, but after another week of training, it looks like he'll contend for starts again. Prior to the Norwich match, he had started five-straight matches in the midfield, though the return of Mathias Jensen and Saman Ghoddos moved him to the bench.

Brentford's defence is a worry, even if the data suggests it's not all bad Brentford are conceding far too easily and the changes in personnel are causing big problems at the back

Álvaro Fernández - Allows three goals Fernandez gave up three goals, recorded one clearance and made six saves in Saturday's 3-3 draw between Brentford and Newcastle.
Impact Fernandez has been filling in for the injured David Raya (knee) but his performances just haven't been good, with eight goals conceded and 12 saves across three matches. There's not much he could've done in any of the goals he allowed in this one, though, and he'll try to bounce back in his next start when The Bees take on Everton next Sunday.

Rico Henry - Scores against Magpies Henry bagged a goal in Saturday's 3-3 draw between Brentford and Newcastle.
Impact The left wing-back found himself at the end of a perfect delivery from Sergi Canos, and he simply had to nod the ball home to put his side in front. This was Henry's second goal in as many weeks, and despite being a defender by trade, he seems to be quite comfortable when operating in a more advanced role.

Sergi Canos - Delivers two assists Canos was credited with two assists in Saturday's 3-3 draw between Brentford and Newcastle.
Impact The Spanish winger was heavily involved once again and was in charge of setting up two of the team's goals. He first set up Ivan Toney with a lovely through ball, and then he assisted on the team's second goal with a great cross to the far post. These were his first two assists of the campaign, something quite impressive considering how involved he gets in the build-up on a game-to-game basis.

Ivan Toney - Scores against former team Toney bagged a goal in Saturday's 3-3 draw between Brentford and Newcastle.
Impact The towering striker notched Brentford's first goal of the game with a fierce shot from a tight angle, although it's fair to say Karl Darlow could've been a bit more to prevent that strike. Toney added another goal in the first half, but that goal was ruled out due to an offside position. The 25-year-old striker has three goals and two assists in 12 starts this season.

Zanka - Late test against Newcastle Zanka (undisclosed) has to be assessed ahead of Saturday's trip to Newcastle, according to manager Thomas Frank. "He is training a bit going into the weekend."
Impact It's been two weeks since Zanka suffered his injury, yet according to Frank, the defender still has to be assessed. It's a relevant injury for Brentford because Charlie Goode is the next option to start on the back line and he didn't look great in limited minutes against Norwich before the break.

Mathias Jensen - Status unknown for Saturday Jensen (COVID-19) has to be assessed ahead of Saturday's trip to Newcastle, according to manager Thomas Frank. "He is back from Denmark and now through his quarantine. He was in tr...
Impact Jensen tested positive for COVID-19 early in the break and if he was well, he would be in training by now. Of course, after a few losses, Frank isn't giving much detail on his injured players, so Jensen could either start and go a full 90 Saturday or completely miss out.

Yoane Wissa - Edging closer to return Wissa (ankle) is "getting closer" to a return, according to manager Thomas Frank.
Impact Frank didn't give a ton of details, but it appears Wissa is weeks away from a return. If all goes well, he'll get a week of training in and be an option for Brentford's final game of November. The forward has two goals in his last two appearances, totaling 20 minutes.

Shandon Baptiste - Could be option after break Baptiste (shoulder) could be an option as soon as Saturday's trip to Newcastle, according to manager Thomas Frank.
Impact Baptiste has been out for more than a month with a dislocated shoulder, but it looks like he's ready to feature again. Prior to injury, he had started three of four matches in the midfield, something that may not happen given the return of Mathias Jensen to the XI.

Mathias Jensen - Tests positive for COVID-19 Jensen has tested positive for COVID-19 and has withdrawn from the Denmark national team.
Impact Jensen has about 12 days to recover from COVID-19 ahead of the Nov. 20 contest against Newcastle. That's enough time to recover and stay in the starting XI, but if he's not training leading up to the match, Brentford may be forced to look elsewhere in their midfield.

Ethan Pinnock - Takes three shots in loss Pinnock took three shots (one on target) and created a chance in Saturday's 3-1 defeat against Norwich City. He also made a clearance, an interception and won five of six tackles i...
Impact Pinnock was solid in defense and dangerous in attack on Saturday, but his side was downed by Norwich for its fourth Premier League loss in a row. His side needs a result to stop the skid after the international break, and on Nov. 20 Brentford faces Newcastle, which have scored 12 goals in 11 matches this season.
