JOSH DA SILVA NEWS

Still without return date Dasilva remains without a return date following knee surgery earlier this year.

Impact Dasilva underwent meniscus surgery in February and then a few months later signed a new contract with the club. However, he's yet to return to the pitch and there hasn't been much information on his rehab. It's best to assume he's weeks, if not months away from a return.

Signs one-year extension Dasilva signed an extension for the 2024/25 season, Brentford announced.

Impact Dasilva lost most of the 2023/24 season due to a knee injury, but has done enough to earn at least one more year at the club. Dasvila was limited to just three appearances but after four goals and two assists in 36 appearances in 2022/23 it's unsurprising to see that he's still considered a depth asset moving forward.

Impact Dasilva has not had the best of luck this season, having just returned from a serious hamstring injury. He will likely miss the rest of the season with knee injury as he looks to recover before the start of the 2023/24 campaign. The midfielder only made three appearances, coming off a year where he recorded four goals and two assists in 36 appearances, 14 of them coming as starts.

Starts in draw Dasilva got the start during Friday's one-all draw with Wolves in the FA Cup.

Impact Dasilva played 63 minutes in the starting XI, a nice return from a serious hamstring injury. The midfielder isn't a major contributor to the starting XI, but he should see some minutes moving forward after making 36 appearances in 2022/23. Dasilva also earned six goal contributions in 2022/23, a very efficient return on 1,382 minutes.

Still out Dasilva (hamstring) is out for Saturday's clash with Luton Town, according to manager Thomas Frank.

Impact Dasilva is out Saturday and continues to work on his recovery. The midfielder is back in training but after such a serious hamstring injury it appears he won't be rushed back into the first team any time soon.

Won't train until break Dasilva (hamstring) won't return to training until the international break, according to manager Thomas Frank. "Josh was a hamstring injury so he will maybe not train with the team...

Impact Dasilva has a more serious hamstring injury, and one that seems to be nagging him. Still the midfielder's return was described as weeks and not months, giving him a chance to return before 2024. Dasilva has made just a single Premier League appearance this season before he picked up the hamstring issue.

NOVEMBER 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Back on grass Dasilva (hamstring) is training individually on grass, manager Thomas Frank announced.

Impact Dasilva is back to individual running training as he continues to work on his recovery from a long-term hamstring issue.

Impact Dasvila's worst-case scenario came through as he was confirmed to have suffered a long-term hamstring injury. There's no definite timeline for his return though manager Thomas Frank was talking in months not weeks. Frank Onyeka will likely see an uptick in playing time with Dasilva sidelined.

AUGUST 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Leaves with injury Saturday Dasilva was subbed off during the second half of Saturday's game against Fulham with an apparent hamstring injury.

Impact Injuries have derailed Dasilva's career, and this is just another blow for the talented midfielder. Further tests will be needed to determine the severity of the injury, but given the tricky nature of hamstring injuries, he should be considered a doubt -- and a long shot -- to feature against Crystal Palace on Aug. 26, with Frank Onyeka possibly entering the XI as his replacement.

Impact Dasilva tried to leave his mark on both ends of the field, but there's no question he was far more productive on the attacking end, and he finished the season as the club's fifth-leading scorer in the Premier League. This was also a bounce-back season for the former Arsenal prospect, as he made just nine appearances (two starts) in 2021-22. The potential additions over the summer will dictate which role Dasilva will have next season. Still, in the worst-case scenario, he's expected to remain a bench alternative for the Bees, as he has proven he can play at the Premier League level.

Scores game-winning goal Josh Dasilva scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 victory over Nottingham Forest.

Impact Dasilva was the unsung hero for the Bees in this game, as he notched the game-winning strike in stoppage time with an effort from a tight angle, although he also received some help from Keylor Navas. This was his first goal since Dec. 30, and as a player who doesn't start regularly, his upside is limited in most formats.

Delivers assist in win Dasilva created an assist, took three shots (two off-target and one blocked) and delivered seven crosses (one accurate) in Saturday's 2-0 victory over Bournemouth.

Impact Dasilva was a lightning rod in the Bees midfield on Saturday. He was active making plays and trying his luck with goal strikes. He delivered his part in his team's victory by creating the assist for Brentford's second goal that was prosecuted by Mathias Jensen. From 19 appearances (nine starts) he has scored three goals and created two assists.

Scores with lone shot Josh Dasilva scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and two crosses (zero accurate) in Friday's 2-0 win over West Ham United.

Impact Dasilva found himself with acres of space following a long pass and coolly slotted the ball past Lukasz Fabianski to give the Bees a two-goal lead late in the first half. The former Arsenal prospect has rotated between the starting lineup and the bench, but he's been playing better of late with one goal and one assist across his last three league contests.

Logs late assist Dasilva logged one assist from two chances created in three minutes off the bench during Saturday's 2-1 win over Manchester City.

Impact Dasilva helped secure an impressive road win, reportedly his club's first in the city of Manchester since the 1930's. With two goals and one assist in 15 appearances (seven starts), Dasilva hasn't been able to secure a regular role in the lineup as a Premier League player but shows decent activity on occasion.

Scores goal against Man United Dasilva scored a goal and made an interception in Saturday's 4-0 victory against Manchester United.

Impact Dasilva opened the scoring Saturday with a long-range shot that squeezed through the hands of David de Gea, his second goal of the season. He only started two Premier League games last campaign but the 23-year-old is already proving he is capable of having a much bigger role on the team in 2022/23.

Equalizes late Dasilva scored a goal with his lone shot and crossed three times inaccurately during Sunday's 2-2 draw with Leicester City.

Impact Dasilva entered the match in the 59th minute and scored the game tying goal in the 86th. The midfielder got some run late last season following a lengthy absence and he opens the new campaign with a game-leveling goal. Without Christian Eriksen in the midfield, Dasilva has a real chance to start going forward in addition to being a set-piece taker after contributing three off the bench in the opener.

AUGUST 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Plays 32 minutes in finale Dasilva played 32 minutes as substitute in their 2-1 loss to Leeds in the season finale.

He also logged four crosses and six clearances, and will now look for more space heading to the next campaign.

MAY 31, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Available Saturday Dasilva (hamstring) will be an option versus Watford on Saturday. Manager Thomas Frank told reporters, "Josh Dasilva will be involved in the squad which is very positive."

Impact Dasilva has been limited to just four appearances this season in which he made two starts while recording one cross (inaccurate), four clearances and two tackles (one won). Even if he does start, the midfielder may be hard-pressed to offer more than mid-range fantasy value.

APRIL 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Sunday Dasilva will be sidelined against West Ham United on Sunday but could return ahead of the club's April 16 matchup with Watford, Jay Harris of The Athletic reports.

Eligible to return after break Dasilva served his three-match suspension and is eligible for Brentford's trip to Chelsea following the international break.

Impact Dasilva was on back-to-back starts when he got this red card, but it's hard to see him returning to that role. Christian Eriksen is now a regular starter for them and Dasilva will have to fight for one of the other two midfield positions, which could take some work given his most recent performance.

MARCH 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sent off early Saturday Dasilva was sent off with a straight red card in the 11th minute of Saturday's match against Newcastle following a VAR review on a late challenge.

Impact Dasilva is back from injury, but he's still not fully in form and this tackle kind of highlighted that. This sending off put Brentford in a massive hole in a winnable spot against Newcastle and will likely see Dasilva suspended a few matches. Going further, he may have lost his spot in the starting XI now that Christian Eriksen is an option.

FEBRUARY 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Logs 28 minutes off bench Dasilva played for 28 minutes of Wednesday's 2-0 loss to Brentford.

Impact Dasilva is getting back into match fitness after spending a year on the sidelines due to a hip injury. With how manager Thomas Frank has talked about his potential usage already, he could soon be seen in the starting lineup if he can turn around his side's five-match losing streak. Up next is a visit from Crystal Palace, which have conceded 35 goals in 23 matches this season.
