Brentford suffer double injury setback before Sunderland visit | OneFootball

Brentford have suffered a double injury setback before Saturday's visit of Sunderland, with Mathias Jensen and Josh Dasilva unavailable. According to Sunderland Echo, head coach Andrews said Jensen will not play and Dasilva is out until the international break.

The Bees opened their Premier League campaign with a 3-0 home win over Tottenham Hotspur, then drew at Leeds United last weekend. That result came without Denmark international Jensen, who sustained a knock before the trip to Elland Road.

Jensen had been expected to be in contention, but Andrews said the midfielder has a minor issue and will miss this week, possibly next. Brentford will see how it settles over the next couple of weeks, and although not considered serious, he will not feature on Saturday.

Dasilva sustained a hamstring injury in Brentford Under-21s' 5-1 win over Sunderland's Under-21s earlier this week. Andrews said it rules him out until the international break. He called it disappointing as the midfielder rebuilds intensity, but stressed the issue is not too serious.

Defender Sepp van den Berg remains out until after the upcoming international break. Antoni Milambo will also miss Saturday, and is expected to step up his ACL recovery in the coming weeks.
