Given he mostly played off the bench, it's safe to say that won't change for the 2024/25 campaign, as his production hasn't been very good after signing from Sampdoria in the summer of 2022.

Impact Damsgaard's status for Saturday's match is still in question after manager Thomas Frank said he didn't know if he would be an option for the game. The attacker was close to returning last week, so it is a bit surprising to see him as questionable again this week. Even if he does make the squad against Everton, he will most likely only be a substitute, as he was in the first three games before his injury.

Impact The Denmark international struggled to make an impact in his first season with the Bees after a 2021-22 season where he also failed to score while playing for Sampdoria in the Serie A.
