Yoane Wissa Injury: Won't face Sunderland

Wissa (not injury related) won't be an option to face Sunderland on Saturday, manager Keith Andrews told media Thursday. "Nothing has changed in terms of my stance," said head coach Keith Andrews when asked about the forward in his pre-match press conference. "There has been no movement. No [he will not feature against Sunderland], I'll focus on the group that's settled and doesn't have issues ongoing."

Wissa has yet to play for Brentford this season, and that'll be the case until the transfer window closes on Sep. 1. The forward scored 18 goals across 35 appearances in the 2024-25 campaign for the Bees, so there's no doubt he'd still have a role if available, but the manager wants to solve his transfer situation first before integrating him to the first-squad dynamics. This means the first chance he'll have to make his season debut will come against Chelsea on Saturday, Sep. 13, after the break.
