Brentford head coach Thomas Frank has confirmed that forward Yoane Wissa will be out for a "couple of months" after picking up an ankle injury against Manchester City.

Wissa limped off in the first half at Etihad Stadium after a challenge by midfielder Mateo Kovačić and will now be unavailable until November.

Frank stated: "Wissa is, unfortunately, not good news: it looks like an injury that will be a couple of months.

"It’s very frustrating. We talked about our many injuries last year, I hope I don't have to talk too much about it this year, I maybe already have.

"We were unlucky with Igor [Thiago], unlucky with [Aaron] Hickey; we've then had two contact injuries with Mathias Jensen and Yoane Wissa, so that's very frustrating.

"But that's part of football, we move on, and we will find solutions."

He added: "It will leave a big hole. Everybody was saying we bought Igor Thiago to replace Ivan [Toney] - but we still had Wissa; we bought Igor Thiago to build the squad and provide competition in the squad.

"Wissa had a very good season last year and I thought he has started the season very well this year, with three goals in four games, that's a very good number.

"He's just been very important for us and that's going to leave a hole. But, again, I will find a solution."
