Mikkel Damsgaard
25-Year-Old
Brentford
Premier
OUT
Injury Illness
Est. Return 9/20/2025
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Damsgaard's third season in Brentford was a revelation. He snatched a spot in the starting XI, played every Premier League match and nearly surpassed 3,000 minutes. He finished with nine assists and 63 chances created, as the connecting piece between the midfield and attack. He figures to be a key part of a new Brentford going forward, and with a role on set pieces, his numbers should only grow. The question is if his goalscoring will ever grew after getting seven shots on target last season, paltry numbers given his position.
Out due to illness
Damsgaard isn't available to face Chelsea on Saturday due to an illness, manager Keith Andrews confirmed. "There is illness in the camp. [Mikkel] Damsgaard isn't well, and a couple of the coaches as well."
ANALYSIS
Losing Damsgaard is a huge blow for the Bees, as the Danish playmaker is the team's most creative threat in the final third. He'll aim to recover before the team's next game against Fulham on Sep. 20. In his absence, Andrews decided to tweak the tactical scheme and play with three center-backs following the inclusion of Ethan Pinnock in the XI.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Three EPL sides keen on him
Three Premier League teams are interested in making a move for Damsgaard before the transfer window closes, according to The Sport Witness.
ANALYSIS
Damsgaard was one of the best players for Denmark in the Euro 2020 and starred for the Scandinavian side -- those performances might fetch a move to a bigger team. Tottenham seem to have dropped out of the race to sign him, but Liverpool, Leeds and Aston Villa may make a late move for the Sampdoria winger.
