Igor Thiago - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Limited impact vs. Forest Thiago generated two shots (zero on goal) in Sunday's 2-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest.

Impact Thiago has been one of the most dangerous strikers in the Premier League this season, but the Brazilian was unable to make a big impact in this defeat since he was pretty much isolated against the opposing center-backs. Thiago, who ranks second in the Premier League in goals this season, will aim to bounce back when Brentford visit Aston Villa on Sunday in another tough matchup.

Impact Thiago opened the scoring in the 30th minute, latching onto Vitaly Janelt's perfectly weighted pass before rounding Robin Roefs and slotting home with composure. He doubled the lead shortly after the hour mark, converting following sustained pressure that came after Sunderland's missed penalty and a Kevin Schade effort that struck the woodwork. The two goals push his total to 16 in 21 Premier League appearances for the Bees this season, an impressive return for the Brazilian following his recovery from an ACL injury. Thiago will look to add to his tally against Chelsea on Jan. 17, as he remains the only player able to compete with Erling Haaland for the Golden Boot.

Scores hat trick versus Everton Thiago scored three goals to go with six shots (five on goal) and one cross (one accurate) in Sunday's 4-2 win against Everton.

Impact Thiago dominated Everton Sunday, scoring three goals to lead Brentford to a road victory. It marked his fourth match this season with multiple goals and he now has 14 goals through 20 Premier League matches this season. He recorded a season-high five shots on target as he emphatically ended a six-match slump without a goal. He and Erling Haaland (19 goals) are the only two players in the Premier League with double-digit goals and while it would be very difficult, Thiago is the only player contending with Haaland for the Golden Boot.

Impact Thiago looks to be dealing with some of the drawbacks of the busy season and busy portion of the schedule they are in, as he has been dealt a knock. Luckily, the injury only appears to be a knock and minor, warranting a return soon and likely missing no time at all. He has been their starter at forward, so even though he looks to be fine for the match, his minutes could be restricted if not deemed fully fit ahead of Thursday's match.

Impact Thiago will head into Saturday's match with some worries after he had to leave the field early in Wednesday's Carabao Cup match, with the forward suffering a knock. A fitness test likely awaits the forward ahead of the match, deciding if he can make the call or not. With the forward only missing one start all season, this is something to monitor, especially with more absences due to AFCON, with Kevin Schade likely to return to his spot on the left flank or in Thiago's spot, depending on whether he makes the call or not.
