Brentford boss Thomas Frank has confirmed midfielder Mathias Jensen will miss Wednesday’s Premier League clash with Aston Villa through injury.
The Bees will head to Villa Park with hopes of claiming a second straight win after sweeping past Leicester City at the weekend.
Kevin Schade netted a hat-trick alongside a Yoane Wissa effort to fire the Bees to a 4-1 home victory, maintaining their unbeaten record at the Gtech Community Stadium this season.
Jensen started Saturday’s home win in the Brentford midfield, but he was unable to see out the first half due to a hamstring problem.
Speaking after the game, Frank stated that Jensen’s early withdrawal was “more precautionary” but stressed that it was too early to know the full extent of the injury issue.
Frank confirms Jensen injury blow
The Brentford head coach has now revealed that Jensen could miss at least two matches due to the hamstring injury.
“Mathias Jensen unfortunately got a minor hamstring injury,” Frank told reporters at Tuesday’s pre-match press conference.
“He will be out for Wednesday and he’s unlikely for Saturday [against Newcastle United]. More than that, I don’t know exactly.”
Jensen is now set for another spell on the sidelines after missing five Premier League games earlier this season because of a calf injury.
