Brennan Johnson - Page 6 - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Comes off injured against Brentford Johnson had to come out of Saturday's match against Brentford in the 65th minute after suffering an injury.

Impact Johnson is Forest's leading scorer this season with eight goals and six just in 2023 alone, so he will hope the injury he picked up in the second half of Saturday's game isn't too serious. Cheikhou Kouyate replaced him against Brentford, but Emmanuel Dennis, Jesse Lingard or Andre Ayew would be a more like-for-like swap if Johnson is indeed forced to miss additional game time.

Misses PK against Brighton Johnson had two shots (one on target), created two chances, made five tackles (two won) but missed a penalty during Wednesday's 3-1 win over Brighton.

Impact Johnson had a chance to open the scoring from the penalty spot in the 11th minute but saw goalkeeper Jason Steele making a good read to stop his shot. The attacker then had some other moments offensively but didn't produce anything noteworthy to make up for his early miss. With eight goals and two assists over 33 league apperances so far this season, Johnson will try to bounce back during Saturday's visit to Brentford.

Impact It sounds like classic coach speak for Johnson's status, as there aren't a ton of positive reports on him. Given that it's a muscle injury, it's best for him to be rested ahead of the international break and have a better chance to be ready a couple weeks from now.

Johnson has been one of the bright spots for Forest this season and any kind of absence would be a blow to the attack. If he can't go Friday against Newcastle, that would open up a starting spot for Emmanuel Dennis, Gustavo Scarpa or Jesse Lingard, depending how Steve Cooper wants to line up.
