Expected back Saturday Janelt (thigh) will be available versus Chelsea on Saturday after manager Frank Thomas told reporters, "Kristoffer Ajer (hamstring) and Vitaly Janelt should be available."
Impact Janelt has registered one goal on six shots (three on target), seven crosses (four accurate) and two corners in six appearances (all starts) this season.

Scores against Liverpool Janelt scored a goal, took one shot (one on goal) and put in four crosses (one accurate) during Saturday's 3-3 draw against Liverpool.
Impact Janelt scored a scrappy goal in the 63rd minute by winning two separate headers and get the ball over the line. He's been Brentford's top midfielder through six matches and will remain in that role when they travel to West Ham next Sunday.

Goes full 90 in opener Janelt started and went the full 90 in Friday's win against Arsenal, producing three tackles (two won) and three fouls.
Impact Janelt is more of an enforcer in Brentford's midfield, which won't lead to a ton of fantasy action. He totaled just 16 shots and 26 chances created in 44 Championship appearances last season, meaning he could fail to reach 10 shots and 15 chances from 30 Premier League starts this season.

Starts in friendly Janelt (undisclosed) started and went 61 minutes in Saturday's friendly against Watford.
Impact Janelt was forced off a week ago in a friendly, but it clearly wasn't an issue, as he was healthy enough to go 61 minutes in the most recent match. He's one of the more important pieces for Brentford after starting 39 matches last season. As a midfielder in a 4-3-3, he posted four goals and three assists.

Subs off early in friendly Janelt was forced to come off in the 13th minute of Saturday's friendly because of an undisclosed injury.
Impact Janelt probably won't have the same role he had last season, but he'll still be a valuable piece for Brentford after producing four goals and three assists in 44 appearances (39 starts) last season in the Championship. With a month to go before the new campaign, he should have enough time to recover from this issue, assuming it's a minor one.
