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.

Impact Eriksen is edging closer to minutes in the Premier League and he could be on the bench as soon as Saturday against Newcastle. He's unlikely to be thrown into the starting XI right away, but his presence is undoubtedly a boost to the struggling side.

Won't face Man City Eriksen won't face Manchester City on Wednesday and his situation will be taken day by day, according to manager Thomas Frank.

Impact Eriksen hasn't played a real match in roughly seven months, so it's not surprising that Brentford will take their time with him. He could be available for upcoming matches, but it's unlikely he'll be pushed into the starting XI in his first couple games. For now, it wouldn't be surprising if he didn't start until after the next break.

Set to train Monday Eriksen will arrive to Brentford on Sunday and begin training Monday, according to manager Thomas Frank. "It is more or less impossible for me to say when he will be available."

Impact It's hard to see Eriksen being an option Wednesday after only a couple days of training. He hasn't played at a top league since last campaign and while he's been training in different places, it's unknown where his fitness level is given that lack of pitch time.
