Starts against Spurs Norgaard (ankle) is in the starting XI for Wednesday's contest against Tottenham.

Impact Norgaard is already fit once again, shaking off an ankle injury that forced him to miss last Saturday's match against Nottingham Forest. The midfielder should continue in a starting role from here on out as long as avoids any further injuries, as he has yet to miss a contest that he has been available for this season. He will hope to find a goal contribution soon as well, only having two on the season in 19 appearances.

Fit for Spurs match Norgaard (ankle) is expected to be on the team sheet against Tottenham on Wednesday, according to manager Thomas Frank. "Christian Norgaard is involved in the squad tomorrow."

Impact Norgaard looks to only be missing one match in league play with his current ankle injury, having been deemed healthy for Wednesday's match against Tottenham after missing last weekend's contest against Nottingham Forest. This will be a huge boost back into the squad for Brentford, as they will not have their captain and a regular starter back on the pitch, only missing out on the starting XI twice this season, both of which being due to injury. He should get the start immediately now that he is fit, taking back the starting role from Mikkel Damsgaard, who will now most likely return to the bench.

Starts training again Norgaard (ankle) appeared to be back out on the training pitch Wednesday ahead of their contest next Wednesday against Tottenham.

Impact Norgaard has once again rejoined training, appearing to have made decent progress on his rehabilitation while he looks to return to play. The club will hope that he will be fit enough for their next match against Tottenham on Wednesday, as the midfielder has already missed their last two contests, one against Nottingham Forest in league play and the other being against Wolves in the FA Cup, as they were sent out of the competition following a 3-2 loss. The player will just hope for no further setbacks at this point, as he will want to get back on the pitch and secure his starting spot once again, only missing out on the starting XI in two league games all season, one being due to suspension and the other being due to his current injury.

Impact It's good news on Norgaard, who may only have to miss the second leg of their FA Cup clash and the upcoming Nottingham Forest game.

Impact Norgaard was the victim of a nasty challenge by Joao Gomes in midfield as both players were hustling for the ball, and the Wolverhampton midfielder got sent off due to the infraction. The severity of the injury remains to be seen, but Brentford will be cautious here since Norgaard is a reliable starter in midfield for the Bees. Brentford's next game in the Premier League will come against Nottingham Forest on Jan. 20.

Suspension served Norgaard served his one-match ban and is eligible to return for Saturday's trip to Sheffield United.

Impact Norgaard was busy in ever aspect of Sunday's match and put together some strong passages of play. He couldn't find end product though and his yellow card limited his tackling in the second half. Norgaard has some upside going forward, but that mostly comes against easier opponents. Norgaard's assist-upside will be stronger when Ivan Toney returns from suspension as he has created 12 chances this season without an assist.

Creates two chances Norgaard registered two shots (one on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 2-2 draw versus AFC Bournemouth.

Impact Norgaard has grown into the season and showed an all-action performance during Saturday's draw. The midfielder isn't likely to do too much creatively, but offers plenty on both sides of the ball and has played every minutes in the final two matches before the international break.

In contention Sunday Norgaard is in contention to play during Sunday's Premier League opener against Tottenham, manager Thomas Frank confirmed.

Impact Norgaard has been active in friendlies after suffering a season-ending Achilles injury to close out 2022-23. The midfielder would be a crucial part of the first team if deemed fit enough to start, though it seems more likely than not he finds his way onto the bench Sunday.

Done for season Norgaard (Achilles) will not play again this season, manager Thomas Frank confirmed.

Impact This was always thought to be the case for Norgaard once he was injured and with Brentford fighting for nothing in the table.

Impact Norgaard will be on the shelf for the second straight contest due to his Achilles problem. At this point, the midfielder's 2022-23 season should be considered questionable at best based on the manager's comments. Still, if Norgaard does return, he figures to be a near-lock for the starting XI considering he has featured in 21 of his 22 appearances this season.

Impact Norgaard had to be brought off at halftime with an Achillies injury, and will likely miss a few more matches with the status of his return unclear.

Impact Norgaard used his aerial ability twice to make an impact on the sequence that led to Ivan Toney's goal, as he was two aerial battles and then set up a ball toward the middle that found Ivan Toney near to the goal. Norgaard's role as a defensive midfielder doesn't carry a lot of upside, but he can be a threat on set-piece situations and showed just that in this sequence. It was his second assist over his last seven outings.

Solid defensive performance in win Norgaard engaged in three tackles, two interceptions, blocked a shot and managed to place a shot-on-target in Saturday's 2-0 victory over Bournemouth.

The Peacocks have only managed to deliver one clean sheet in their last eight EPL matches.
