Five corners in loss Jensen sent in five corners and created one chance during Sunday's 2-1 loss to Leicester.

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.

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.

Forced off early at Arsenal Jensen was forced off with an injury late in the first half of Saturday's match against Arsenal.

Impact It's yet another injury for Jensen, who can't seem to stay healthy for an extended period. He's yet to start more than five matches in a row this season and this new injury could prevent him from hitting six. Vitaly Janelt took his spot after he was replaced by Josh Dasilva in the XI.

Fine after head injury Jensen (head) started and went the entire way in Tuesday's friendly against Aston Villa.

Impact Jensen took a nasty blow to the head just before the international break, but it looks like he's recovered and playing again.

Exits after blow to head Jensen was forced off in the 25th minute after clashing heads with teammate Rico Henry in Saturday's match against Wolves.

Impact Jensen had a decent start to Saturday's match, but a nasty clash of heads forced him off early.

In his place, Shandon Baptiste came into the midfield Saturday.

Makes bench Tuesday Jensen (undisclosed) is on the bench for Tuesday's match against Southampton.

Hopeful to face Southampton Jensen (undisclosed) is expected to be available for Tuesday's trip to Southampton, according to manager Thomas Frank.

Impact Jensen was subbed off in the 61st minute in the prior contest with what looks to be a minor issue and he may not miss a league match. After a slow start to the season, he's found his role the last few months, having started the team's last four league matches. Most importantly is that he's the main corner taker when on the pitch with nine corners in his last four appearances.

Questionable versus Leeds Jensen is dealing with an undisclosed injury that raises doubts regarding his availability against Leeds United on Sunday. Manager Thomas Frank told reporters, "Mathias and Shandon...

Impact Jensen had started four straight matches prior to testing positive for COVID-19, so it's possible the midfielder is still working his way back to full fitness. Even if Jensen isn't fully fit to start, he could still be in the mix for a spot on the bench.

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.

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.

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.

Nine crosses in loss Jensen sent in nine crosses (one accurate), and took three corners during Saturday's 1-0 loss to Chelsea.

Impact Jensen had plenty of chances to get on the scoresheet, with his duty on set-pieces giving him a safe floor.

Next up is another tough clash with Leicester City at home.

Plays 10 minutes in season debut Jensen had two chances created in 10 minutes off the bench of his season debut in the 1-1 draw against Aston Villa.

Impact Jensen was finally in the squad against Villa and he showed his ability immediately, mainly because he may be on all set pieces for Brentford when on the pitch. The question going forward is where he'll fit in the starting XI with Christian Norgaard, Vitaly Janelt and Frank Onyeka all fighting for minutes.

Edging closer to return Jensen (undisclosed) returned to training this week and could be an option Saturday against Aston Villa, according to manager Thomas Frank.

Impact Jensen is edging closer to a return, but he probably won't start Saturday given his prolonged absence. If all goes well, he'll get a few minutes off the bench Saturday, recover completely over the break, and then be an option to start following the break.

AUGUST 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Will remain out Saturday Jensen (undisclosed) has been training, but he's not an option for Saturday's trip to Crystal Palace, according to Thomas Frank.

Impact Jensen should get another week of training in then be an option for the Aug. 28 trip to Villa. Once ready, he'll have to fight for his starting spot given the new additions. He started 71 matches the last two seasons, something that may come down in the Premier League.

AUGUST 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Slowly making way back Jensen was pictured training with the ball Tuesday after he missed last week's opener because of injury.

Impact It's unknown Jensen's exact injury, as it's been reported that he suffered an ankle injury in the Euros and also has a head wound. Either way, he appears to be edging closer to health and could be an option before the international break.

AUGUST 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Out for opener Jensen has not played in the preseason and will miss Friday's match against Arsenal, according to manager Thomas Frank.

Impact There wasn't an injury mentioned for Jensen, which means he probably returned late from the Euros and is slowly getting back into the team. That said, he suffered a foot injury in the final Euro match, so it's possible that's related to his absence. It's unknown when he'll be an option again, but Brentford have options in the midfield between Christian Norgaard and newcomer Frank Onyeka.
