Lingard joins Forest after leaving United; Mee to Brentford

Nottingham Forest has pulled off its biggest signing since clinching a return to the Premier League by bringing in Jesse Lingard on a free transfer

JULY 22, 2022 • Associated Press

Signs with Brentford Mee has signed a two-year contract with Brentford after ending his stay at Burnley earlier this summer.

Impact After a couple offseason injuries, Brentford were in need of some depth on their back line and they looked to Premier League veteran Mee. He started just 21 matches last season because of injury but hit 29 starts in each of the prior five campaigns. He could find himself immediately in the starting XI for the opener, as Ethan Pinnock and Kristoffer Ajer are both doubts to be ready.

Doubtful Sunday Mee (knee) is likely a long shot to play against Newcastle United on Sunday after manager Mike Jackson told reporters, "Jay's been with the physios and is out on the grass so it's...

Impact Mee had yet to resume full first-team training ahead of Thursday's clash with Aston Villa so it shouldn't come as a surprise he is unlikely to be in action Sunday either. If he does in fact miss out, Mee will end the year having featured in all 21 of his appearances this season in which he recorded three goals on 19 shots (four on target), four crosses (one accurate) and 92 clearances.

Still working on fitness Mee (knee) continues to work on the grass, stepping up his fitness, according to interim manager Mike Jackson.

Impact Mee has been working alone on the pitch for about a week now, but until he's back in full training he won't be pushed into the squad. While James Tarkowski has a chance to feature in the final two contests, Mee remains a major doubt to take part for Burnley.

Continuing pitch work Mee (knee) is running on the training pitch ahead of Sunday's matchup with Tottenham.

Impact It wasn't a ringing endorsement for Mee to get back into the squad but he hasn't been officially ruled out versus Spurs. With James Tarkowski (hamstring) in doubt as well, Burnley could certainly use the boost that would come from getting Mee back in the squad.

Edging way back to training Mee (knee) has been working on the grass but remains without a return date, according to interim manager Mike Jackson.

Impact Mee remains a doubt to feature again this season, but he's at least making progress, which is a good sign having been out since March 1. Nathan Collins has played well on the back line and figures to keep that job next to James Tarkowski until Mee is ready.

Impact Mee has been working as an assistant manager the last few days, at it looks like he may not play again this season. Burnley have been playing it week-by-week, but Mee hasn't appeared since March 1 and it doesn't seem like he'll be available in the next couple weeks.

Not in squad on Sunday Mee (knee) is not in the match day squad to face West Ham on Sunday.

Impact Mee remains out as he continues to suffer from a knee injury picked up at the beginning of March. The defender will hope to return for Thursday's match with Southampton.

Status unknown against West Ham Mee (knee) is considered a late test for Sunday's trip to West Ham.

Impact Burnley didn't have a press conference following Friday's sacking of Sean Dyche, so it's a simple "late-fitness test" for Mee, who will actually be one of the coaches Sunday. It's unlikely Mee is ready to start, which means Nathan Collins will again be in the XI, with the former coaching him on the touchline.

Still without return date Mee (knee) will remain out for Wednesday's match against Everton, according to manager Sean Dyche. "Ben won't be fit yet, he's making progress but he's still got a bit to go."

Impact It sounds like Mee will miss another couple weeks unless he can make a quicker than expected recovery. It's unfortunate but Nathan Collins is available again after a one-match suspension, meaning he'll be back in the XI Wednesday instead of Kevin Long.

Remains shelved Saturday Mee (knee) will not be an option against Manchester City on Saturday. Manager Sean Dyche told reporters, "Ben Mee is making progress but he's not there yet."

Impact Mee will miss his third consecutive contest due to his lingering knee issue. Prior to his absence, the central defender recorded one goal on nine shots (two on target), 46 clearances and 12 interceptions in his previous 10 outings. Once cleared to play, Mee should jump right back into the starting XI but is unlikely to offer more than mid-range fantasy value.

Impact Mee tried playing through the initial injury, so it's surprising they thought it was a knock after he couldn't even make it to halftime of that contest. He'll hope to recover in the coming weeks and until then, Nathan Collins will remain on the back line after some nervy results.

Impact Mee is still waiting the results of some scans, so he'll either be training Friday or not, which will decide his status Saturday. He couldn't play through the issue Tuesday, so he's considered a major doubt to face Chelsea with Nathan Collins in line to take his spot in the XI.

Forced off injured Tuesday Mee was forced off in the 40th minute of Tuesday's match against Leicester City with an undisclosed issue.

Impact Mee made a key tackle about 15 minutes earlier and while he tried to continue, he simply couldn't make it. While it doesn't seem like a major issue, it's a wonder if it's muscle related, something that could take weeks to recover from. Nathan Collins came on for him and has a decent amount of experience as a backup over the last year.
