BrentfordFit for bench
Nelson (calf) is on the bench for Monday's match against Wolves.
Analysis: Nelson is back in the squad Monday after passing some testing, as the attacker entered the game as a late call. He hopes to see some time after his last appearance was on Jan. 10, going unused in between injuries since then. However, he has yet to start in his six appearances this season, also yet to earn a goal contribution in his minimal 50 minutes of play.
Late call to face Wolves
Nelson (calf) will be a late call for Monday's game against Wolverhampton, according to manager Keith Andrews. "[Reiss] Nelson is going to be part of the [training] group tomorrow. It'll be similar to last week: we'll see how it goes and then make a decision on his involvement."
Analysis: Nelson didn't play in the FA Cup loss to West Ham United on Monday, and a late call on his availability will be made for Monday's matchup. Even if he's available, Nelson won't be much of a factor in most fantasy formats.
Uncertain for Monday
Nelson (calf) is uncertain to be available for Monday's FA Cup match against West Ham United, according to manager Thomas Frank. "Reiss will hopefully be involved, but we're not entirely sure yet."
Analysis: Nelson has missed the last two games due to a calf injury, but he hasn't seen minutes since he started in the FA Cup against Sheffield Wednesday on Jan. 10. Even if the winger is fit enough to see action Monday, he'll likely to be on the bench against a Premier League opponent.
Dealing with calf problem
Nelson missed Saturday's clash against Burnley due to a calf problem but is expected to resume full team training in the coming days, the club announced.
Analysis: Nelson missed Saturday's clash against the Clarets due to a calf issue that ruled him out of the match. The attacking midfielder is expected to return to full team training in the coming days and is therefore a doubt for Tuesday's clash against Bournemouth. That said, he likely remains a depth piece for the Bees after going unused in each of his last four appearances on the bench, therefore a potential absence from him won't impact the starting XI.
Available again
Nelson is an option for upcoming games after being loan locked during Thursday's clash with Arsenal.
Analysis: Nelson has made just seven appearances considering EPL and FA Cup action in the current campaign, and it remains to be seen if he'll play a bigger role in the remaining fixtures. In any case, he'll be back in contention with Kevin Schade, Dango Ouattara and Keane Lewis-Potter on the wings going forward.
Loan locked Thursday
Nelson is loan locked for Thursday's clash against his parent club Arsenal.
Analysis: Nelson is unavailable for Thursday's showdown against his parent club Arsenal due to loan restrictions. The attacking midfielder is set to be back in the mix for next week's clash against Brighton and his absence against the Gunners does not affect the starting XI since he has mostly been used off the bench in recent outings.
Available after knock
Nelson missed Sunday's clash against Aston Villa due to a knock but is fully available moving forward, coach Keith Andrews said in the press conference. "Reiss had picked up a little knock, very minor, which is why he wasn't available for that game [against Aston Villa]."
Analysis: Nelson didn't make the squad for Sunday's clash against Aston Villa after picking up a minor knock ahead of kickoff. The attacking midfielder has since recovered from the issue and is fully fit moving forward for the Bees. Nelson was largely used as a bench option this season for Brentford and is expected to slide back into that role going forward.
Makes bench Saturday
Nelson (undisclosed) is on the bench for Saturday's game against Bournemouth.
Analysis: Nelson will finally return to the bench after missing the previous four EPL contests. He'll add depth to the final third, which is a huge need for Brentford due to the absence of Dango Ouattara due to international duty.
Late fitness call Saturday
Nelson (undisclosed) is a late fitness call for Saturday's clash against Bournemouth after being back in team training and in good place physically, coach Keith Andrews said in the press conference. "Reiss is training. He's come back in a good place physically and gone straight in. He trained with the group today [Tuesday], so he's back in and around it."
Analysis: Nelson missed the last four Premier League games due to an undisclosed injury but was back in team training in recent days and is in good place physically. The attacking midfielder will be a late fitness call ahead of Saturday's clash against the Cherries and will likely resume a bench role if deemed fit enough to make the match squad.
Out to face Wolves
Nelson (undisclosed) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Wolves.
Analysis: Nelson is out to face Wolves as he continues to work his way back from an undisclosed injury. He needs a few more days to recover and remains unavailable after also missing the Carabao Cup match. This extends his absence to five games although it remains a minor issue for the club.
Close to return
Nelson (undisclosed) is out for Wednesday's match against Manchester City but is nearing a return, according to manager Keith Andrews. "Reiss won't make this one. We've pushed him as much as we can. He's not too far off, but tomorrow comes a bit too soon, unfortunately. There definitely hasn't been a setback, it was just a case of whether we felt it was right. We looked at his training loads and where he was at, and we felt it would have been a bit of a risk. We want to get him back and keep him back. He's working hard behind the scenes, so he shouldn't be too much longer."
Analysis: Nelson is still not an option as he works his back from an undisclosed injury, needing another few days to recover from the issues, and out for their Carabao Cup match. This will extend his absence to four games, although it is still a minor absence for the club. Once fit, he will likely return to a role on the bench.
Remains out
Nelson (undisclosed) is out for Sunday's match against Leeds United.
Analysis: Nelson was a late call for Sunday, but appears to have failed his testing ahead of the match, as the attacker is not an option. This is a third straight match missed, but a minor issue for the club, only appearing in three games all season.
Late call for Sunday
Nelson (undisclosed) is a late call for Sunday's match against Leeds United, according to manager Keith Andrews. "Reiss is doing pretty well," the west Londoners' head coach revealed. He took a knock a week or so ago, so we'll see how he shapes up for Sunday. He should be in and around being available for Sunday. We'll see how he goes over the next few days."
Analysis: Nelson was suffering from a knock but has been recovering this week, potentially an option to face Leeds if he can pass testing. He was only dealing with a knock, so this does seem plausible, just needing to pass some testing to be an opton. However, even if he is an option for the club, he will likely earn a bench role, starting in zero of his three appearances this campaign for a total of 31 minutes of play.
Suffering from knock
Nelson was not an option for Saturday's 2-0 loss to Tottenham due to a knock, according to manager Keith Andrews, per Sam Tabuteau of the Standard. "Reiss picked up an injury last weekend against Burnley, a slight knock. So, that was an enforced one where he couldn't take part today. So we'll see how he is in the next week or so."
Analysis: Nelson would not be in the call for the club's past two games, with the attacker hitting the sidelines after suffering an injury against Burnley ahead of the busy week. This is something to watch for the attacker, as he will try to recover quickly and see the field next contest, especially seeing it was only deemed a knock. However, he has only appeared off the bench three times all season for 31 minutes, a minor loss for the team.
Loan-locked to face Arsenal
Nelson is out for Wednesday's match against Arsenal due to a loan-lock.
Analysis: Nelson is not an option for the club as they prepare to face the Gunners, with the attacker out due to a loan-lock when facing his parent club. Luckily for the club, this is a minor loss, as he has only appeared in three games all season, all of which came from the bench. He will next be an option when facing Tottenham on Dec. 6.
Option after illness
Nelson (illness) is an option for Saturday's match against Manchester City, according to his club.
Analysis: Nelson returned from an early injury a couple weeks ago to feature in the EFL Cup on Sept. 16. However, he then missed the next week with an illness, which he's supposedly recovered from. He's struggled to see pitch time since joining Brentford and unless something changes in the squad, it's hard to see him finding his way in the starting XI too many times this season, especially in league play.
Unavailable against Manchester United
Nelson (illness) isn't in the squad to face Manchester United on Saturday.
Analysis: Nelson will miss this one due to an illness and will look to recuperate for next Sunday's clash with Manchester City. He has yet to start playing after joining in the summer.
Struggling with illness
Nelson (illness) is a doubt for Saturday's clash with Manchester United, Brentford announced.
Analysis: Nelson is a doubt Saturday due to an illness that kept him on the sideline throughout the week of training. If he can't play Saturday it would be a disappointment after he made his debut in the Carabao Cup against Aston Villa. It's not expected to be a serious concern, as he's looking to get fully fit and integrated into the squad.
Makes debut
Nelson made his Brentford debut during Tuesday's Carabao Cup clash with Aston Villa.
Analysis: Nelson signed with Brentford on loan right at the deadline, and made his debut in the Carabao Cup. The attacker should be a depth option for the Bees, with only a split of starting duties at best. When healthy he's shown some upside, with four goal contributions in just under 700 minutes last season in the Premier League. Nelson is still hoping to top 1,000 minutes for the first time in a league season.
Signs with Brentford on loan
Nelson has been loaned to Brentford from Arsenal, according to his new club.
Analysis: Nelson is leaving the Emirates for a season but will stay in the Premier League, joining the Bees on a season-long loan. The 25-year-old has shown promise in his career but has always struggled to make it off the Gunner bench, with his most time in a season in the past five years coming with Fulham on loan last season, where he started in five of his 11 appearances. He does join a depleted Brentford attack now, likely to earn minutes whichever way they come.
