Edging closer to return Zanka (hamstring) recently returned to group training and could be an option in the coming weeks, according to manager Thomas Frank.

Impact Zanka could be an option before the month is over, but as long as everyone else is healthy on the back line, he probably won't see much time. For now, he's viewed as anywhere from the fourth or sixth center-back for Brentford, pointing to minimal playing time in the second half of the season.

Still out with injury Zanka (undisclosed) does not have a timeline to return to training, according to manager Thomas Frank.

Impact It's unclear what Zanka is dealing with, but he's been out since Nov. 6 with the injury, which isn't what Brentford planned for when they brought him in. Even then, it's possible Charlie Goode is the preferred backup above Zanka, meaning upon return from injury, Zanka could be the fifth center-back option.

Still sidelined Friday Zanka (undisclosed) will not be available against Watford on Friday.

Impact Zanka has been out of action since Nov, 6 against Norwich and will miss his fifth straight contest. Given his extended layoff, the defender may have to settle for a spot on the bench once first cleared to play.

Will remain out midweek Zanka (undisclosed) is being assessed weekly and isn't an option for Thursday's trip to Tottenham, according to manager Thomas Frank.

Impact Zanka has missed the last two matches and it's unclear when he'll be able to return. Charlie Goode and Mads Roerslev Rasmussen have received starts on the back line in his absence, both with varying results for Brentford.

Doubt for Everton Zanka (undisclosed) is likely to miss Sunday's match against Everton, according to manager Thomas Frank.

Impact Zanka suffered an injury three weeks ago and there still has been a lack of updates surrounding the issue. Mads Roerslev Rasmussen started in his place last game, but the return of Mads Bech Sorensen also gives Brentford another option on the back line.

Late test against Newcastle Zanka (undisclosed) has to be assessed ahead of Saturday's trip to Newcastle, according to manager Thomas Frank. "He is training a bit going into the weekend."

Impact It's been two weeks since Zanka suffered his injury, yet according to Frank, the defender still has to be assessed. It's a relevant injury for Brentford because Charlie Goode is the next option to start on the back line and he didn't look great in limited minutes against Norwich before the break.

Exits early against Norwich Zanka was forced off in the 12th minute of Saturday's match against Norwich City because of injury.

Impact Zanka's injury only added to the problems for Brentford, who went down a goal to Norwich early Saturday. Charlie Goode came on for Zanka, as Zanka was already replacing the injured Kristoffer Ajer on the back line.

Scores goal against Leicester Zanka scored a goal and created a chance in Sunday's 2-1 defeat against Leicester City. He also made an interception and won two of five tackles in the match.

Impact Zanka headed in his first goal of the season on Sunday, but it wasn't enough to earn a result for his side, which have lost two on the bounce. He will try to stop that skid next weekend against 18th-placed Burnley, which have scored just seven goals in nine Premier League matches.

Strong volume in loss Zanka made three interceptions and two tackles during Saturday's 1-0 loss to Chelsea.

Impact Zanka failed to keep a clean sheet, but did well cleaning up at the back holding Chelsea to only a single shot in the match. The defender has been a recent addition to the starting XI, but has frequently appeared off the bench. He will hope to remain in the starting XI on Sunday, against Leicester.

Signs with Brentford Zanka has signed a one-year deal with Brentford after leaving Fenerbahce over the summer.

Impact At 31 years old, Zanka is simply a depth addition for Brentford's back line. He last appeared in the Premier League in 2018/19 at Huddersfield and will only crack the starting XI if needed. He'll likely take the spot of Mads Bech Sorensen, who is currently out with a knee injury.
