Igor Thiago
Injuries in the preseason.
Ivan Toni.
Looking more and more likely to stay at Brentford for another season.
Background:
Brentford brought in 23-year-old striker Igor Thiago for a record £30 million transfer fee this summer, with the original plan being to bring him in to replace Tony. However, on his pre-season debut, Igor suffered a knee injury and underwent surgery, which is expected to end the 2024 season prematurely. This unexpected situation disrupted Brentford's original plan.
Tony's situation:
Ivan Toney's contract with Brentford is due to expire next summer and there was originally a possibility of him leaving the club. However, with Igor out for an extended period of time, it is looking more and more likely that Toney will stay with the team for another season.The 28-year-old is set to return to training next week to continue playing for Brentford.
The club's decision:
Brentford need to rethink their striker setup after Igor's injury. Tony's retention is undoubtedly good news for Brentford's attacking system, as his experience and scoring ability will continue to provide important support to the team.
