Rico Henry - Scores against Magpies Henry bagged a goal in Saturday's 3-3 draw between Brentford and Newcastle.

Impact The left wing-back found himself at the end of a perfect delivery from Sergi Canos, and he simply had to nod the ball home to put his side in front. This was Henry's second goal in as many weeks, and despite being a defender by trade, he seems to be quite comfortable when operating in a more advanced role.

Sergi Canos - Delivers two assists Canos was credited with two assists in Saturday's 3-3 draw between Brentford and Newcastle.

Impact The Spanish winger was heavily involved once again and was in charge of setting up two of the team's goals. He first set up Ivan Toney with a lovely through ball, and then he assisted on the team's second goal with a great cross to the far post. These were his first two assists of the campaign, something quite impressive considering how involved he gets in the build-up on a game-to-game basis.

Ivan Toney - Scores against former team Toney bagged a goal in Saturday's 3-3 draw between Brentford and Newcastle.

Impact The towering striker notched Brentford's first goal of the game with a fierce shot from a tight angle, although it's fair to say Karl Darlow could've been a bit more to prevent that strike. Toney added another goal in the first half, but that goal was ruled out due to an offside position. The 25-year-old striker has three goals and two assists in 12 starts this season.

Zanka - Late test against Newcastle Zanka (undisclosed) has to be assessed ahead of Saturday's trip to Newcastle, according to manager Thomas Frank. "He is training a bit going into the weekend."

Impact It's been two weeks since Zanka suffered his injury, yet according to Frank, the defender still has to be assessed. It's a relevant injury for Brentford because Charlie Goode is the next option to start on the back line and he didn't look great in limited minutes against Norwich before the break.

Mathias Jensen - Status unknown for Saturday Jensen (COVID-19) has to be assessed ahead of Saturday's trip to Newcastle, according to manager Thomas Frank. "He is back from Denmark and now through his quarantine. He was in tr...

Impact Jensen tested positive for COVID-19 early in the break and if he was well, he would be in training by now. Of course, after a few losses, Frank isn't giving much detail on his injured players, so Jensen could either start and go a full 90 Saturday or completely miss out.

Yoane Wissa - Edging closer to return Wissa (ankle) is "getting closer" to a return, according to manager Thomas Frank.

Impact Frank didn't give a ton of details, but it appears Wissa is weeks away from a return. If all goes well, he'll get a week of training in and be an option for Brentford's final game of November. The forward has two goals in his last two appearances, totaling 20 minutes.

Shandon Baptiste - Could be option after break Baptiste (shoulder) could be an option as soon as Saturday's trip to Newcastle, according to manager Thomas Frank.

Impact Baptiste has been out for more than a month with a dislocated shoulder, but it looks like he's ready to feature again. Prior to injury, he had started three of four matches in the midfield, something that may not happen given the return of Mathias Jensen to the XI.

Mathias Jensen - Tests positive for COVID-19 Jensen has tested positive for COVID-19 and has withdrawn from the Denmark national team.

Impact Jensen has about 12 days to recover from COVID-19 ahead of the Nov. 20 contest against Newcastle. That's enough time to recover and stay in the starting XI, but if he's not training leading up to the match, Brentford may be forced to look elsewhere in their midfield.

Ethan Pinnock - Takes three shots in loss Pinnock took three shots (one on target) and created a chance in Saturday's 3-1 defeat against Norwich City. He also made a clearance, an interception and won five of six tackles i...

Impact Pinnock was solid in defense and dangerous in attack on Saturday, but his side was downed by Norwich for its fourth Premier League loss in a row. His side needs a result to stop the skid after the international break, and on Nov. 20 Brentford faces Newcastle, which have scored 12 goals in 11 matches this season.

NOVEMBER 7, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Ivan Toney - Takes two shots in loss Toney took two shots and won two of three tackles in Saturday's 2-1 defeat against Norwich City.

Impact Toney was once again held in check on Saturday, even by bottom-of-the-table Norwich. After scoring 33 goals as his side was promoted from the Championship last year, he has scored only twice in 11 games this season. He will want to come back stronger after the international break when he faces Newcastle, which have conceded 24 times in the Premier League.

Álvaro Fernández - Concedes two goals against Norwich Fernandez made four saves but conceded two goals in Saturday's 2-1 defeat against Norwich City.

Impact Fernandez was beaten by strikes from Mathias Normann and Teemu Pukki -- the latter coming from the penalty spot -- on Saturday as his side lost its fourth consecutive Premier League game. Starting goalkeeper David Raya (knee) will have some more time to recover with the upcoming international break, but Fernandez could continue against Newcastle on Nov. 20 if Raya still isn't fit.

Saman Ghoddos - Records assist against Norwich Ghoddos subbed into Sunday's clash against Norwich City at halftime and he assisted a goal in the 2-1 defeat.

Impact Ghoddos was introduced with his side chasing the game on Saturday, but he was able to get one back with his cross to Rico Henry. Ghoddos has come off the bench in his last two games and tallied a goal and an assist, and he maybe has earned another look as a starter as Brentford try to stop their four-game losing streak after the international break against Newcastle.

Rico Henry - Scores goal against Norwich Henry scored a goal and made two clearances in Saturday's 2-1 defeat against Norwich City.

Impact Henry scored his first Premier League goal on Saturday and he got his side back in the game. But Brentford have lost four in a row now, and they will welcome the international break before trying to get back on track against Newcastle on Nov. 20.

Zanka - Exits early against Norwich Zanka was forced off in the 12th minute of Saturday's match against Norwich City because of injury.

Impact Zanka's injury only added to the problems for Brentford, who went down a goal to Norwich early Saturday. Charlie Goode came on for Zanka, as Zanka was already replacing the injured Kristoffer Ajer on the back line.

Bryan Mbeumo - Set to start Saturday Mbeumo should rejoin the starting XI for Saturday's clash with Norwich City. According to manager Thomas Frank, "If everything goes well tomorrow, Bryan Mbeumo should be OK to star...

Impact Mbeumo was held in reserve against Burnley on Saturday but figures to jump back into the starting XI. Prior to Saturday's contest, the forward has started all nine matches of the club in which he recorded two goals on 22 shots (five on target), 15 crosses (five accurate) and seven corners.

Kristoffer Ajer - Facing long-term absence Ajer (hamstring) is expected to be sidelined until at least mid-December with manager Thomas Frank telling reporters, "Kris Ajer has a hamstring injury. We are probably speaking ab...

Impact Ajer has played just once in the club's last four matches due to his lingering hamstring problem. Instead of trying to manage the issue, the team is poised to simply shut the defender down until he is back to 100 percent. Once given the all-clear, Ajer should be a near-lock to reclaim his spot in central defense where he figures to rack up plenty of defensive stats.

David Raya - Out four-five months Raya (knee) will be out for four-five months with a PCL injury according to Brentford's medical report.

Impact Raya is expected to miss four-five months, putting him out until the back-end of the season. The keeper suffered the injury after a collision with Leicester City's Ayoze Perez. Alvaro Fernandez figures to be the long-term replacement unless Brentford look for a new keeper during the January transfer window.
