IGOR THIAGO NEWS

Good to go Thiago has avoided an injury after suffering a knock in Wednesday's 2-0 loss to Arsenal and is an option for Saturday's match against Tottenham, according to manager Keith Andrews.

Impact Thiago had suffered a minor knock Wednesday but has already recovered from his issues, with the forward cleared for the weekend. The question for the weekend will be if he returns to a starting role, rested from the bench, and only earning 30 minutes on Thursday after not missing a start all season. He will likely return to his starting role, as he is the team's leading scorer.

Two goals in 3-1 win Igor Thiago was subbed off due to injury in the 91st minute of Saturday's 3-1 win versus Burnley. He scored two goals to go with four shots (two on goal) before exiting the match.

Five of his goals this season, including the opener in this match, have come from the penalty spot. He took four shots in this game, making it 10 shots across his last three matches.

Scores opener from spot Thiago scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 defeat against Brighton.

Impact Thiago thought he had opened the scoring in the 22nd minute before an offside flag cut short the celebrations, but he did put Brentford ahead from the spot in the 29th minute after Carlos Baleba fouled Dango Ouattara in the box. He dispatched that first penalty with a stuttering run-up and a no-look finish into the bottom left corner, marking his ninth league goal of the season and his fourth from the spot in 12 appearances. Deep into stoppage time he earned a second penalty after Maxim De Cuyper pulled down Kevin Schade, only for his tame effort to be saved by Bart Verbruggen, leaving him unable to help the team secure a point away from home.

Nets from the spot Igor Thiago scored one goal to go with four shots (three on goal) in Saturday's 3-2 win against Liverpool. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 100th minute.

Impact Thiago scored his only goal during Saturday's win from the penalty spot. The striker has been productive for a Brentford side that lost both of their primary attackers during the summer. Thiago should remain the top option in the attack and the main penalty taker, which gives him some strong upside as the attack around him improves.

Impact Thiago was only able to fire off two shots Sunday and failed to score in the loss, with only one shot hitting the target. That said, he remains at four goals this season after a brace last outing. He should remain a decent source of goals this season, having yet to miss a start and averaging just under two shots per game.
