Mikkel Damsgaard - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Serves as substitute Damsgaard recorded 69 minutes of play over the last three league contests since returning from an ankle issue.

Impact Damsgaard is struggling to build momentum with his only club start in October coming in EFL Cup action. The midfielder has shown his offensive ability at the international level with Denmark scoring two goals and an assist in the Nations League earlier this season, but he remains without direct involvement in Brentford's goals. He holds creative appeal as a set-piece taker whenever he's on the pitch, having posted multiple crosses in seven of his eight league appearances.

Goes 90 minutes in cup clash Damsgaard took two shots (zero on goal) and created two scoring chances in Wednesday's EFL Cup loss to Sunderland.

Impact Damsgaard had been struggling with foot pain but finally got back to playing a complete match in the midweek contest. The playmaker is now a viable alternative to either Mathias Jensen in central attacking midfield or Mamadou Sangare for a slightly deeper position. Additionally, Damsgaard's set-piece ability helps him to push for more of those duties from both Jensen and Vitaly Janelt. The Dane has yet to score or assist for his club this season but recorded two goals and one assist over three Nations League appearances in the previous international break.

Impact Damsgaard has played off the bench in Brentford's last two matches, logging 13 minutes in the 2-1 loss to Liverpool and 28 in the 1-1 draw at Hull City. The playmaker has made just three starts in the current EPL campaign, but it sounds as if he has a good chance to remain involved when the Bees take on Sunderland this Wednesday as they'll look to secure a spot in the EFL Cup semifinals.

Returns to bench Damsgaard (ankle) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Liverpool.

Impact Damsgaard returns to the squad after an ankle injury suffered on international duty with Denmark kept him out against Aston Villa. The midfielder had resumed on-field work before that fixture but needed additional recovery time before returning to competitive action. He is now available as a substitute and could provide a creative boost if called upon. With three Premier League starts this season, he will look to work his way back into the lineup as his fitness improves.

Impact Damsgaard missed Brentford's previous match against Aston Villa after suffering an ankle injury while on international duty with Denmark. The midfielder had already resumed on-field work but was not yet ready for competitive action. He is getting closer to returning, although his availability against Liverpool remains uncertain. Damsgaard has started three Premier League matches this season and would provide Brentford with another creative option in midfield once fully fit.

Ruled out Saturday Damsgaard (ankle) is not in the squad for Saturday's match against Aston Villa.

Impact Damsgaard is not ready to return from the ankle injury that forced him to withdraw from Denmark's squad following the defeat to Portugal. The midfielder has resumed on-field training but still needs more time before returning to competitive action. His absence leaves Brentford without a creative midfield option who has started three Premier League matches this season.

Impact Damsgaard has made encouraging progress after suffering an ankle injury during Denmark's defeat to Portugal, which forced him to withdraw from international duty. The midfielder's injury was initially described as more serious than expected, but his return to on-field training suggests he could be approaching a comeback. However, manager Keith Andrews has not confirmed whether Damsgaard will be available against Aston Villa, leaving his involvement uncertain. He has started three Premier League matches this season and could reclaim a central attacking midfield role once fully fit.

Impact Damsgaard picked up an ankle injury late in the loss to Portugal and was substituted, and coach Brian Riemer indicated the problem is more serious than first expected. The coming days will determine whether he faces an extended absence. His withdrawal comes after a strong window in a central attacking midfield role, scoring against both Norway and Portugal. At club level he has started three Premier League matches for Brentford this season without a goal or assist.

Impresses during international break Damsgaard was involved in both goals during Denmark's 2-0 Nations League win over Wales on Sunday after also scoring in Thursday's 3-2 loss to Norway.

Impact Damsgaard enjoyed a productive start to the international window, with his cross forcing Ben Davies' own goal against Wales before another delivery contributed to Gustav Isaksen's goal, while he also struck the post from distance. The midfielder had previously scored from a free kick against Norway and still has two international fixtures remaining before returning to Brentford. Damsgaard has started three of five Premier League appearances this season without a goal contribution and will look to carry his strong international form through the remainder of the break.

Rotational spot early Damsgaard has started in three of his five appearances this season while having yet to earn a goal contribution.

Impact Damsgaard has not been in a regular role to begin the 2026/27 season, as the midfielder has been in and out of the starting XI to begin the campaign. This comes after he started in 24 of his 33 appearances last season, likely lining up for a similar amount of time in the 2026/27 season. The question remains if he will be able to stick around the 10-goal contribution mark and keep his set-piece duties, as that is what gives the midfielder much of his value.

Creates two chances Damsgaard had six crosses (one accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Sunderland.

Impact Damsgaard remained at the center of Brentford's creative work, with two chances created, six crosses and three corners reflecting his significant responsibility for supplying the attack. He has now created exactly two chances in each of his first three Premier League appearances, giving him six for the campaign. His regular involvement on set pieces provides another reliable route to opportunities even when Brentford struggle to create consistently from open play.

SEPTEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Creates two chances in draw Damsgaard registered two shots (one on goal), six crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Leeds United.

Impact Damsgaard tested James Trafford with a curling shot in the first half and also got too much on a header from Nathan Collins' looped ball at a corner that went over the frame in the second, registering two shots including one on goal while also delivering two corners, six crosses of which one was accurate and two chances created before being replaced by Yehor Yarmolyuk in the 69th minute. He was one of manager Keith Andrews' two changes from the opening weekend win over Tottenham and provided the creative link between Mamadou Sangare and Brentford's front three for the first hour of the match. Damsgaard now has one shot on goal across Brentford's opening two Premier League appearances.

AUGUST 31 • ROTOWIRE

First season home goal Damsgaard scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and three chances created in Saturday's 3-0 victory versus West Ham United.

Impact Damsgaard ended a long home scoring drought with a beautiful finish for his first goal on home turf in the league this season and his first since November last year, bringing his tally to four goals, his best scoring season with Brentford in four campaigns. Despite the dry spell in front of goal he has remained active, taking three shots and creating six chances across his last three games.

Three shots, no goal Damsgaard registered three shots (one on goal), three crosses (zero accurate) and two chances created in Monday's 2-1 defeat versus Manchester United.

Impact Damsgaard was unable to leave his mark on Monday's match, as he would record a decent three shots, but ultimately couldn't score. The midfielder has now gone six straight appearances without a goal or an assist, although he did three goal contributions in his last match on the scoresheet.

Impact Damsgaard apparently wasn't 100 percent coming out of the international break, but he still managed to start, which is a good sign ahead of Saturday's Fulham match. Complete fitness is still a question, but after a full week of training, he figures to get at least 70 minutes and improve that number as the season winds down. Unfortunately for fantasy purposes, he hasn't taken a corner since January due to Mathias Jensen's monopoly role.

Impact Damsgaard had looked like a real concern after being ruled out against Leeds United just days after picking up a knee knock against Wolves, but he answered every question in style on the international stage, scoring and assisting once against North Macedonia. The midfielder looks fully back to his best and should return to Brentford fit and firing with serious momentum heading into the final stretch of the season.

Ruled out Saturday Damsgaard (knee) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Leeds United.

Impact Damsgaard is ruled out for Saturday's match against Leeds United due to a knee injury he suffered Monday against Wolverhampton. The midfielder is making progress but not enough, with the staff opting not to take risks. The Danish international had started the last four matches, recording two goals and one assist, making his absence a significant blow for the club.

Appearing doubtful for Saturday Damsgaard (knee) is doubtful for Saturday's match against Leeds United, according to manager Keith Andrews. "Dams was on grass today, which is obviously positive. We'll give him ev...

Impact Damsgaard had to leave the field in Monday's draw with knee issues and is making strides for a return Saturday. However, the midfielder appears to be on the outside looking in, as he is yet to train with the group, a late call that appears to be doubtful for Sunday. He is a regular starter when fit, so if possible, the club will hope to have him in that spot. If he isn't deemed fit, the club will likely call Keane Lewis-Potter into the starting XI in his place.

MARCH 20 • ROTOWIRE

Exits with knee issue Damsgaard was forced off in the 72nd minute of Monday's 2-2 draw against Wolves due to ongoing discomfort from the knee knock he initially suffered against Nottingham Forest in lat...

Impact Damsgaard is still managing the knee knock he picked up against Nottingham Forest on Jan. 25, an issue that limited him to four straight games off the bench before returning to the starting XI in the last four. The attacking midfielder is expected to be evaluated again in the coming days to rule out any deeper setback, but the fact he is still feeling the effects more than six weeks later suggests the coaching staff could take a more cautious approach moving forward. If he ends up missing time or shifting back into a reduced role, Mathias Jensen is in line to push higher up the pitch while Yehor Yarmolyuk takes over the deeper defensive responsibilities.
