Jordan Henderson - Spotted training indoors Henderson (ankle) was spotted training indoors on Thursday, the club posted.

Impact Henderson was forced off at the break of Saturday's win against Sheffield Wednesday as a precaution and was spotted training indoors on Thursday, raising some doubts about his involvement in Saturday's clash against Chelsea. That said, the veteran has mainly been a bench option recently, starting two of his last six available games across all competitions for the Bees, therefore a potential absence won't significantly affect the starting XI.

Impact Henderson will be assessed in the coming days after suffering an ankle injury in Saturday's win against Sheffield Wednesday in the Carabao Cup. The midfielder was subbed off at the break as a precaution, and the Bees will hope the issue is only minor. That said, the veteran started only one Premier League game across his last five possible appearances, therefore a potential absence would represent only a minor loss for Brentford.

Nathan Collins - Delivers assist in win Collins assisted once to go with zero corners and two chances created in Wednesday's 3-0 victory over Sunderland.

Impact Collins played a key role in the third goal, providing the assist for Yehor Yarmolyuk's 73rd-minute finish as Brentford's pressure finally broke Sunderland's resistance again. Defensively, he helped limit the Black Cats to few clear chances, stepping in front of passes and winning aerial duels as the defense compacted to protect the goal. Collins contributed solidly in defense with two interceptions, six clearances, and two blocks, while also setting a new season high with two chances created during the game. The center-back has contributed two assists and one goal in his last two appearances, impressing with his offensive contributions for the Bees.

Vitaly Janelt - Provides new assist in victory Janelt assisted once to go with four crosses (zero accurate) and four corners in Wednesday's 3-0 win over Sunderland. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 63rd minute.

Impact Janelt's work in midfield directly produced the breakthrough, as he won possession and threaded the through ball that sent Igor Thiago clear for the 30th minute opener. He then stayed disciplined in the double pivot, screening counters and helping Brentford manage the game once they took the lead. His contribution was the type that shifts matches, and he was valuable on set pieces as well, contributing four crosses and four corners to go with his defensive solidity, highlighted by two tackles, two interceptions, and one clearance against the Black Cats.

Kevin Schade - Back-to-back assist in win Schade assisted once to go with three shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and four chances created in Wednesday's 3-0 victory versus Sunderland.

Impact Schade set the tone early with a delicate lob that Robin Roefs tipped over inside the first minute. He remained Brentford's most direct ball carrier on the left flank, repeatedly forcing Sunderland to retreat and defend while facing their own goal. His effort that struck the woodwork led to the rebound assist for Igor Thiago's second goal. This was Schade's second assist in the last two games and also his second best creative performance of the season, after previously recording a season high four chances created against the Black Cats.

Yehor Yarmoliuk - First Brentford goal seals win Yarmolyuk scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and three crosses (zero accurate) in Wednesday's 3-0 win over Sunderland.

Impact Yarmolyuk capped the win with his first goal for Brentford in the 73rd minute, finishing from close range after a scramble in the area. He complemented that moment with disciplined midfield work, helping Brentford control second balls and protect the back line after taking the lead. The goal reflected his knack for arriving in the right spaces when play breaks down. Yarmolyuk also tied three season highs with three shots, three crosses, and two interceptions to end his likely best game of the season so far with the Bees.

Igor Thiago - Scores brace in victory Thiago was subbed off due to injury in the 82nd minute of Wednesday's 3-0 victory over Sunderland. He scored two goals to go with six shots (four on goal) and two chances created b...

Impact Thiago opened the scoring in the 30th minute, latching onto Vitaly Janelt's perfectly weighted pass before rounding Robin Roefs and slotting home with composure. He doubled the lead shortly after the hour mark, converting following sustained pressure that came after Sunderland's missed penalty and a Kevin Schade effort that struck the woodwork. The two goals push his total to 16 in 21 Premier League appearances for the Bees this season, an impressive return for the Brazilian following his recovery from an ACL injury. Thiago will look to add to his tally against Chelsea on Jan. 17, as he remains the only player able to compete with Erling Haaland for the Golden Boot.

Caoimhin Kelleher - Saves penalty, keeps clean sheet Kelleher had three saves and allowed zero goals in Wednesday's 3-0 victory versus Sunderland.

Impact Kelleher's defining moment came on the hour when he comfortably saved Enzo Le Fee's attempted Panenka penalty, preserving Brentford's one goal lead. That stop proved pivotal, as Brentford quickly built on the momentum to turn control into a commanding scoreline. Aside from the penalty, he dealt calmly with Sunderland's limited shots on target and recorded three saves during the match. Kelleher has now secured three clean sheets in the last five Premier League games for the Bees and will look to contribute to another in the next EPL clash against Chelsea on Jan. 17.
