Disastrous outing in defeat Pinnock made five clearances, two interceptions and was charged with an own goal in Saturday's 5-1 loss to Newcastle United.

Impact Pinnock was directly responsible for two of Newcastle's goals here, as a poor pass also led to an 82nd minute goal for Miguel Almiron. In any event, it was truly an afternoon to forget for the central defender who was back in the lineup for the first time this season due to injury. It remains to be seen whether Brentford will make any tactical changes along the back line following Saturday's thrashing.

Available against Newcastle Pinnock (knee) is fit and available for Saturday's match against Newcastle, according to manager Thomas Frank.

Impact Pinnock is available, but it's hard to see him starting Saturday given that Frank mentioned the defender still had a lack of sharpness. He hasn't seen the pitch since suffering a knee injury back in April and will likely need a bench appearance or two before thrown into the starting XI. It's more likely Kristoffer Ajer or Zanka will start at Newcastle.

Working on fitness Pinnock (knee) is edging closer to a return to the squad, according to manager Thomas Frank."He is looking sharper and sharper. Let's say we didn't have any centre-backs, could he...

Impact Pinnock missed the first two months of the season, but he's on the cusp of being ready and it looks like Frank won't push him back into the XI. Considering Ben Mee is now in the squad and Kristoffer Ajer is healthy, it may be another week before Pinnock gets minutes with the senior team and a return to the starting XI could be multiple weeks away.

Features in friendly Pinnock (knee) started and played 80 minutes in Thursday's behind-closed-doors friendly against Reading.

Impact This had been the plan for Pinnock for a couple weeks and it looks like he went 80 minutes unscathed having not played for Brentford since last season. It's unlikely he'll immediately crack the starting XI after the break, but along with the recent return of Kristoffer Ajer, it looks like the Bees are fairly deep in the back and will have questions in their starting XI. New signing Ben Mee has been a solid addition and it's unknown who will eventually win the starting job on the back line with everyone healthy.

Could return after break Pinnock (knee) may be available against Bournemouth on Oct. 1 following the international break, Jay Harris of The Athletic reports.

Will miss start of season Pinnock (knee) will have to miss the "first part of the season," Brentford manager Thomas Frank said Tuesday, after suffering a knee injury during preseason.

Impact It is unclear just how long Pinnock will have to miss as Brentford's Premier League opener comes on Aug. 7 and there are four more games even before September begins. New signing Ben Mee will likely partner Pontus Jansson in central defense until Pinnock is fit enough to return.

JULY 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sustains knee injury Pinnock sustained a knee injury and is expected to miss the opening match of the season, reports The Athletic.

Impact It's another injury for the Brentford back line and there are reports that the club are going after Burnley veteran Ben Mee.

Will miss Leeds tilt Pinnock (hamstring) will miss Sunday's finale against Leeds United, according to manager Thomas Frank.

Dealing with hamstring problem Pinnock is expected to miss multiple weeks due to a hamstring injury, Manager Thomas Frank told reporters, "Ethan Pinnock (hamstring) is hopefully only a couple of weeks."

Impact Pinnock has missed just one match for the club this season, starting all 32 of his appearances in which he has registered one goal on 16 shots (nine on target), one assist and 21 crosses (four accurate). While the central defender can certainly rack up clearances (148), his limited offensive upside makes him no more than a mid-range fantasy target, at best.

Sets up goal, leaves injured Pinnock set up Brentford's opening goal with a long throw in before being taken out in the 21st minute with an undisclosed injury.

Impact Brentford have been cruising, so it's a tough injury for them already up a goal Saturday. Pinnock has been a rock on the back line this season with 32 starts to his name, but there's a chance he'll miss time going forward with Mads Bech Sorensen taking his spot against Brentford.

Impact Pinnock was rock-solid here, filling the stat sheet and keeping opposing forwards at bay during entire contest.

Busy in loss Pinnock made four clearances and shot twice during Saturday's 2-1 loss to Wolves.

Impact Pinnock had a busy day on both sides of the ball repeatedly cleaning up messes behind the ball as well as getting forward. The center-back isn't much of a fantasy option due to his role, and will be especially unusable after the international break. Next up is a trip to Manchester City, far and away the hardest match on the calendar.
