Brentford manager Thomas Frank has confirmed that DR Congo international Yoane Wissa will be sidelined for several months due to an ankle injury suffered during Saturday’s 2-1 defeat to Manchester City.
Wissa opened the scoring for Brentford within the first minute of the match before City’s Erling Haaland responded with a brace.
However, the forward, whose goal against Manchester City was reminiscent of his strike against Everton in the 2021/2022 season, was forced off the field in the first half after a tackle by City’s Mateo Kovacic.
Following a scan on Monday, Frank delivered the disappointing news to Brentford supporters.

“Wissa is, unfortunately, not good news – it looks like an injury that will be a couple of months,” he said.
Wissa’s injury is a setback for Brentford, who have already faced a number of injuries this season.
The team is currently ninth in the Premier League table with six points.
