Ben Mee - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Starts and plays 90 Mee started and played 90 minutes in Wednesday's 1-0 Carabao Cup win over Colchester.

Impact Mee saw his first start of the new season Wednesday, playing the full 90 in the win. He had only played one match previous to Wednesday, seeing one minute off the bench. That said, he is likely to remain in more of a rotational role this season, playing backup to Kristoffer Ajer and Ethan Pinnock.

Returns in friendly Mee (ankle) started in Saturday's friendly against Wolfsburg, according to his club.

Impact Mee ended last season on the injury list but has shaken off the issues to heal up for the new season, having returned to action Saturday. This is great news for the club, as he is considered a regular starter when fit, starting in 15 of his 16 appearances last campaign and mainly missing out due to injury concerns.

AUGUST 10 • ROTOWIRE

Staying at Brentford Mee signed a new, one-year contract with Brentford, keeping him at the club another season.

Impact Mee broke his ankle a few months ago, but Brentford thought he did enough in his starts to earn another contract. After starting 37 matches the prior campaign, he was down to just 15 due to injuries, something he'll hope he can fend off in the new campaign. Unless something changes in the roster, the starting center-back spots will likely be between Ethan Pinnock, Nathan Collins and Mee once again next season.

Impact Mee joins Ethan Pinnock (ankle) on the sideline, now leaving the Bees without their top choice center-backs. Nathan Collins and Zanka could see more chances in the starting XI for the remainder of the season with Mee on the sideline.

May miss rest of season Mee (foot) is in jeopardy of missing the rest of the season due to the foot injury he picked up in the 4-2 loss to West Ham on Monday, according to Malik Ouzia of The Standard.

Impact Mee looks to be just another name to add to the list of long-term injuries Brentford has as they come closer to the relegation zone, now being in question of missing the rest of the season. This is a brutal outcome for the Bees, as they are already without regular starter Ethan Pinnock until the start of April, and now they will be without one of their other regular center-backs. The club will now have to turn to Nathan Collins, Kristoffer Ajer and Zanka to run the center-back roles in their three-man defense until one of the others is healthy. There is still a chance that Mee does return this season, although it does look like a very slim possibility, but we will have to wait and see until the club releases more information on the defender.

Ankle injury confirmed Mee has been confirmed to have suffered an ankle injury, as manager Thomas Frank stated, "It's something in the ankle. I don't know exactly yet. We will assess him."

Impact Mee had to be recalled after 61 minutes of play from Monday's tilt against Brentford due to what has now been confirmed as an ankle issue. It appears the defender has yet to undergo further testing, so not much information has been released, with a return date still up in the air. However, based on the fact that the defender could walk off the pitch and was not immediately taken to testing does show some good signs, as he is most likely only dealing with something minor. He will now look to get back on the field for training this week, hoping to work towards a return against Chelsea on Saturday and avoid the sidelines.

FEBRUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE

Forced off early Mee was forced off with an apparent injury during the second half of Monday's clash with West Ham.

Impact Mee came off just after the hour mark due to an apparent injury. It was the second time he came up limping in the match, with Nathan Collins eventually being called on to replace him. Collins could be in line for some significant minutes if the injury to Mee proves to be a serious one.

Impact Mee was back with the team after missing the previous two outings and was not only solid as usual at the heart of the defense but also made a huge contribution on the attacking end, anticipating the opposing defender at the near post to head home a corner from the left and make it 2-1 for Brentford in the 58th minute. This was the second goal of the season for the center-back, who has been struggling with injuries this season but keeps proving to be a high-end fantasy option when available to play.

Option once again Mee is available for the club's next match against Nottingham Forest on Jan. 20 after serving his three-match suspension.

Impact Mee is back in the mix for Brentford, no longer being suspended after serving his three-match ban due to a straight red card that was upgraded to violent conduct. He will now be an option against Nottingham on Jan. 20 but will still be suspended for their FA Cup match Friday. He should return to the starting XI in the club's next Premier League match, as he was given the nod in the five contests leading up to his suspension.

Scores in win over Luton Town Mee scored a goal off three shots (one on target), created two chances and made two clearances, one interception and two blocks during Saturday's 3-1 win over Luton Town.

Impact Mee didn't stuff the stat sheet defensively but more than made up for that on the attacking end, scoring Brentford's second goal with a header off a cross from the left and being an aerial threat in many other plays. The center-back, who's usually a fantasy stud, has been struggling with injuries this season and will hope his first goal of the campaign is a sign of better things to come.

Impact Mee went unused on the bench last time out in the Premier League but was active midweek in the Premier League international cup. The defender likely won't return straight to the starting XI but it appears he could have a chance to test his fitness off the bench during Saturday's clash. If Mee doesn't start it would likely be Nathan Collins and Ethan Pinnock manning the backline once more.

Starts for B team Mee started and went 58 minutes in Wednesday's match with the Brentford B team.

Impact Mee got a chance to build up his fitness Wednesday after staying on the bench for the most recent league match. With only a few days ahead of the next game, a trip to Chelsea, it may be too soon for him to return to the starting XI for the senior side. That being the case, he may have to wait before taking back his spot from Nathan Collins in the starting XI.

Not used Mee went unused on the bench during Saturday's 3-0 win over Burnley.

Impact Mee made his return to the bench in his first chance back from the international break but wasn't brought off the bench. When fully fit Mee seems to be the top choice defender but after aggravating his injury during his first attempt at returning it appears he won't be rushed back. Mee's next chance to start will be a Saturday trip to Chelsea, though Ethan Pinnock and Nathan Collins have proved to be a formidable defensive duo.

Could return Saturday Mee (strain) could be an option for Saturday's clash with Burnley, according to manager Thomas Frank. "He could be available for selection. It's still only four weeks after his inj...

Impact Mee hasn't made an appearance since Sept. 16 after picking up a second significant injury. It's been a brutal start to the season for the defender, who is the top choice in the backline when fit. In the first eight matches Mee has already missed six games through injury. If Mee is fit he would likely be the top choice on the team sheet, potentially replacing Ethan Pinnock (Achilles).

OCTOBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Spotted in training Mee (strain) was viewed training on Wednesday ahead of Saturday's match against Burnley.

Impact Mee was finally involved in training again after suffering a strain just under a month ago in training. The defender seems to be nearing a return and has now had the whole international break to reach full fitness. The injury was never deemed major, so he should already be in contention for minutes on Saturday if he is deemed healthy during his final fitness test. However, he probably won't be in the starting XI, with Nathan Collins having secured a starting spot and Ethan Pinnock (Achilles) possibly returning to his starting position this weekend after a spell on the sidelines.

Impact Mee will have the upcoming international break to get back to 100 percent, though he is far from a lock to play against Burnley on Oct. 21. Injuries have plagued the defender this season, missing five of the club's seven contests to open the campaign. When healthy, the center-back managed five tackles (five won), four clearances and one cross (inaccurate).

OCTOBER 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Expected out multiple weeks Mee will miss multiple weeks with a muscle injury, confirmed manager Thomas Frank.

Impact Mee picked up a knock in the Sept. 16 contest which was deemed nothing and it seems like he made things worse at some point in training leading up to the Everton match. At a minimum, he'll be out until the international break with Nathan Collins next up on the depth chart, though Kristoffer Ajer and Zanka can also feature on the back line no matter the formation.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out with muscular injury Mee is out of Saturday's match against Brentford due to a muscular injury.

Impact Mee was in contention to start at center-back, but the muscular injury has ruled him out altogether, meaning Nathan Collins will start alongside Ethan Pinnock. The severity of the injury is unclear, but Mee's next chance to play will come against Nottingham Forest on Oct. 1.

Impact Before being subbed out, Mee continued to show his defensive skill by winning 100 percent of his tackles. He is now 5-for-5 with his defensive tackles over the last two games.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Plays in EFL Cup Mee played 77 minutes during Tuesday's EFL Cup clash with Newport County.

Impact Mee returned to the starting XI in the cup, as expected. It was a good run out for the center-half, who didn't seem to suffer any set backs with his injury and should be a major part of the starting XI in all competitions moving forward.

AUGUST 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Starting against Newport Mee (calf), as expected, will feature in the starting XI versus Newport County on Tuesday.

Impact Mee makes his season debut for the club after having missed the first three Premier League contests of the season. Considering the central defender started all 37 of his appearances for Brentford last season, he should be a near-lock for the starting XI moving forward, barring any setbacks in Tuesday's tilt.
