Reiss Nelson - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Assist from bench Nelson assisted once to go with one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Monday's 2-1 loss against Manchester United.

Impact Nelson only appeared off the bench for 17 minutes Monday, but did well with his little time on the field, finding Mathias Jensen in the 87th minute for a goal and assist. This does come as the attackers' first goal contribution of the season, taking five shots and two chances created to reach that mark. However, he is yet to start a match, with all nine appearances from the bench.

Fit for bench Nelson (calf) is on the bench for Monday's match against Wolves.

Impact Nelson is back in the squad Monday after passing some testing, as the attacker entered the game as a late call. He hopes to see some time after his last appearance was on Jan. 10, going unused in between injuries since then. However, he has yet to start in his six appearances this season, also yet to earn a goal contribution in his minimal 50 minutes of play.

Impact Nelson has missed the last two games due to a calf injury, but he hasn't seen minutes since he started in the FA Cup against Sheffield Wednesday on Jan. 10. Even if the winger is fit enough to see action Monday, he'll likely to be on the bench against a Premier League opponent.

England squad World Cup 2026: Which players will make it to the showpiece in USA, Mexico and Canada?

Dealing with calf problem Nelson missed Saturday's clash against Burnley due to a calf problem but is expected to resume full team training in the coming days, the club announced.

Impact Nelson missed Saturday's clash against the Clarets due to a calf issue that ruled him out of the match. The attacking midfielder is expected to return to full team training in the coming days and is therefore a doubt for Tuesday's clash against Bournemouth. That said, he likely remains a depth piece for the Bees after going unused in each of his last four appearances on the bench, therefore a potential absence from him won't impact the starting XI.

Available again Nelson is an option for upcoming games after being loan locked during Thursday's clash with Arsenal.

Impact Nelson has made just seven appearances considering EPL and FA Cup action in the current campaign, and it remains to be seen if he'll play a bigger role in the remaining fixtures. In any case, he'll be back in contention with Kevin Schade, Dango Ouattara and Keane Lewis-Potter on the wings going forward.

Loan locked Thursday Nelson is loan locked for Thursday's clash against his parent club Arsenal.

Impact Nelson is unavailable for Thursday's showdown against his parent club Arsenal due to loan restrictions. The attacking midfielder is set to be back in the mix for next week's clash against Brighton and his absence against the Gunners does not affect the starting XI since he has mostly been used off the bench in recent outings.

Impact Nelson didn't make the squad for Sunday's clash against Aston Villa after picking up a minor knock ahead of kickoff. The attacking midfielder has since recovered from the issue and is fully fit moving forward for the Bees. Nelson was largely used as a bench option this season for Brentford and is expected to slide back into that role going forward.

Makes bench Saturday Nelson (undisclosed) is on the bench for Saturday's game against Bournemouth.

Impact Nelson will finally return to the bench after missing the previous four EPL contests. He'll add depth to the final third, which is a huge need for Brentford due to the absence of Dango Ouattara due to international duty.

Impact Nelson missed the last four Premier League games due to an undisclosed injury but was back in team training in recent days and is in good place physically. The attacking midfielder will be a late fitness call ahead of Saturday's clash against the Cherries and will likely resume a bench role if deemed fit enough to make the match squad.

Out to face Wolves Nelson (undisclosed) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Wolves.

Impact Nelson is out to face Wolves as he continues to work his way back from an undisclosed injury. He needs a few more days to recover and remains unavailable after also missing the Carabao Cup match. This extends his absence to five games although it remains a minor issue for the club.

Impact Nelson is still not an option as he works his back from an undisclosed injury, needing another few days to recover from the issues, and out for their Carabao Cup match. This will extend his absence to four games, although it is still a minor absence for the club. Once fit, he will likely return to a role on the bench.

Remains out Nelson (undisclosed) is out for Sunday's match against Leeds United.

Impact Nelson was a late call for Sunday, but appears to have failed his testing ahead of the match, as the attacker is not an option. This is a third straight match missed, but a minor issue for the club, only appearing in three games all season.

Late call for Sunday Nelson (undisclosed) is a late call for Sunday's match against Leeds United, according to manager Keith Andrews. "Reiss is doing pretty well," the west Londoners' head coach revea...

Impact Nelson was suffering from a knock but has been recovering this week, potentially an option to face Leeds if he can pass testing. He was only dealing with a knock, so this does seem plausible, just needing to pass some testing to be an opton. However, even if he is an option for the club, he will likely earn a bench role, starting in zero of his three appearances this campaign for a total of 31 minutes of play.

Suffering from knock Nelson was not an option for Saturday's 2-0 loss to Tottenham due to a knock, according to manager Keith Andrews, per Sam Tabuteau of the Standard. "Reiss picked up an injury last...

Impact Nelson would not be in the call for the club's past two games, with the attacker hitting the sidelines after suffering an injury against Burnley ahead of the busy week. This is something to watch for the attacker, as he will try to recover quickly and see the field next contest, especially seeing it was only deemed a knock. However, he has only appeared off the bench three times all season for 31 minutes, a minor loss for the team.

DECEMBER 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Loan-locked to face Arsenal Nelson is out for Wednesday's match against Arsenal due to a loan-lock.

Impact Nelson is not an option for the club as they prepare to face the Gunners, with the attacker out due to a loan-lock when facing his parent club. Luckily for the club, this is a minor loss, as he has only appeared in three games all season, all of which came from the bench. He will next be an option when facing Tottenham on Dec. 6.

Option Saturday Nelson (illness) is an option for Saturday's match against Manchester City, according to his club.

Impact Nelson has been missing for just under a month now due to an illness, but is now set to return to the team sheet Saturday, with the attacker taking to the training field this week. He has yet to appear all season, only seeing a bench spot once, where he went unused. That said, he will likely earn a bench spot again Saturday, hoping to earn his debut.

Unavailable against Manchester United Nelson (illness) isn't in the squad to face Manchester United on Saturday.

Impact Nelson will miss this one due to an illness and will look to recuperate for next Sunday's clash with Manchester City. He has yet to start playing after joining in the summer.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Struggling with illness Nelson (illness) is a doubt for Saturday's clash with Manchester United, Brentford announced.

Impact Nelson is a doubt Saturday due to an illness that kept him on the sideline throughout the week of training. If he can't play Saturday it would be a disappointment after he made his debut in the Carabao Cup against Aston Villa. It's not expected to be a serious concern, as he's looking to get fully fit and integrated into the squad.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Makes debut Nelson made his Brentford debut during Tuesday's Carabao Cup clash with Aston Villa.

Impact Nelson signed with Brentford on loan right at the deadline, and made his debut in the Carabao Cup. The attacker should be a depth option for the Bees, with only a split of starting duties at best. When healthy he's shown some upside, with four goal contributions in just under 700 minutes last season in the Premier League. Nelson is still hoping to top 1,000 minutes for the first time in a league season.

SEPTEMBER 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Signs with Brentford on loan Nelson has been loaned to Brentford from Arsenal, according to his new club.

Impact Nelson is leaving the Emirates for a season but will stay in the Premier League, joining the Bees on a season-long loan. The 25-year-old has shown promise in his career but has always struggled to make it off the Gunner bench, with his most time in a season in the past five years coming with Fulham on loan last season, where he started in five of his 11 appearances. He does join a depleted Brentford attack now, likely to earn minutes whichever way they come.

SEPTEMBER 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Appears late in friendly Nelson (hamstring) appeared for five minutes off the bench in a friendly on Thursday.

Impact Nelson made his way back to the field Thursday after an injury-filled 2024/25 season, as the attacker saw time from the bench, although only a mere five minutes. However, this should still clear him for the season, now fit enough for opening day. Ge only started in five of his 11 appearances last summer and likely won't see his position improve much, with most of his time coming in Cup play and only seeing rotational time in league play.

JULY 31, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Injuries hinder campaign Nelson only appeared in 11 games while on loan with Fulham.

Impact Nelson saw a rough season while on loan, as he would capture a starting role by November but wouldn't play again after the start of December, with injuries ending his campaign early. This was a brutal turn for the 25-year-old, especially after he earned a goal and assists in his minimal 11 appearances. He will now return to Arsenal slightly in limbo, possibly sticking around the team while also maybe exiting the club, something that doesn't seem unlikely.
