Impact Milambo has remained sidelined even after recovering from ACL surgery from a prior injury, and he hasn't seen first-team action since September 2025. While his return could finally come soon, it's still unclear how quickly he'll be introduced to the rotation, featuring as a bench option once he's cleared to play. Until then, Mathias Jensen and Mikkel Damsgaard should retain better chances of playing.

The midfielder had recently returned to competitive action with Brentford's B team after progressing through full training and 11-a-side sessions, but his latest knock has interrupted that progress.

Returns to action with B team Milambo (knee) is starting for Brentford B as he makes his return to competitive action after being sidelined since October with an ACL injury.

Impact Milambo is taking a major step in his recovery by getting his first competitive minutes since suffering the ACL injury nearly a year ago. The midfielder had recently progressed through full training and 11-v-11 work, with coach Keith Andrews outlining B-team action as the next stage of his rehabilitation. His workload is likely to be managed carefully following such a lengthy absence, and Milambo may need multiple outings at this level before becoming a realistic option for Brentford's first-team squad.

Impact Milambo hasn't recovered as quickly or as smoothly as expected, and the attacking midfielder is not yet ready to return despite being back in training. Until Milambo can consistently train with the rest of the group, he won't be an option for the Bees, and even when he's ready to go, he should be considered a depth option in midfield and not much else.

Impact Milambo has received his surgery and it has gone successfully, with the midfielder now on crutches before his recovery starts.

Impact Milambo signed for Brentford from Feyenoord over the summer and made three appearances for the Bees this season across all competitions.

Impact Milambo had to be stretchered off during Friday's clash. It appeared to be a serious injury that could put Milambo on the sideline for a significant period of time.

Milambo has made just a single appearance since joining from Feyenoord.

Impact Brentford were keeping close tabs on Milambo for quite some time, and now they've managed to close the deal.

Milambo notched seven goals and nine assists across all competitions for Feyenoord in the 2024/25 campaign.
