Brentford’s Igor Thiago suffered a meniscus injury during the Bees’ 5-2 victory over AFC Wimbledon.

The striker, who scored a brace on his first appearance for the club, is unavailable for this evening's game against Benfica and will have further scans next week to determine the extent of the injury. More information will be released in due course.

Thiago notched 18 goals in 34 Jupiler Pro League outings last term as Club Brugge won the title in what was his second full season in Europe, after scoring 15 in 32 in Bulgaria’s First League with Ludogorets.

As well as those 18 league goals, he also grabbed four in the cup and notched seven times in Europe in a stellar first campaign that saw him named Conference League Young Player of the Season.
