Hopes to return before November Norgaard (Achilles) might return before November, according to manager Thomas Frank via Jay Harris of The Athletic.

Impact Norgaard missed all of September due to his Achilles injury and will likely be out for most of October at the least, though there's now some hope he'll return in an EPL match before 2023.

Remains weeks away Norgaard (Achilles) remains weeks away from a return, manager Thomas Frank revealed to the media.

Impact The severity of the Achilles injury was never made clear for Norgaard, who has already missed a month with the issue despite not originally needing surgery. It's something that could bug him until the World Cup and there's a real chance he doesn't return for Brentford before then. Fortunately, Brentford are deeper in the midfield this season and guys like Vitaly Janelt and Shandon Baptiste are options to fill in.

Impact Norgaard once again bossed the middle of the park here, racking up a season-high 10 tackles and making things easier for the defensive line against Palace's dangerous attacking line.

Impact Norgaard has been a constant in the early season, starting the first 17 matches, totaling one goal and one assist from 17 shots and 12 chances created. He doesn't have a ton of attacking value, but given his size, he's always in play to grab a goal from a set piece.

Available versus Villa Norgaard is eligible to play in Sunday's matchup with Aston Villa after serving his one-match ban for yellow card accumulation.

Impact Norgaard had started all 17 matches for the club this season prior to his suspension, so the midfielder should be a lock for the starting XI against Villa. Even with his return to the pitch, Norgaard figures to offer limited fantasy value given his lack of offensive upside.
