27-Year-Old
Brentford
Premier
OUT
Injury Heel
Est. Return 9/13/2025
Back in team training
Janelt (heel) was back in team training for the first time this week and is progressing well, according to the club.
ANALYSIS
Janelt suffered a season-ending heel injury that required surgery in March and has resumed team training for the first time this week. This is good news as he is a regular starter when fit and available. That said, his return will probably occur in the coming weeks, meaning Yehor Yarmolyuk will likely keep a larger role until then.
