Brentford's lively forward Yoane Wissa is out of Saturday's Premier League clash at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (3pm UK) and set for a stint on the sidelines.
Bees boss Thomas Frank confirmed this week that the DR Congo international will be out 'for a couple of months' after picking up an ankle injury in his side's 2-1 loss against Manchester City last weekend.
That means Frank is without the services of Josh Dasilva, Aaron Hickey, Mathias Jensen, Gustavo Nunes and Igor Thiago, all injured, plus full-back Rico Henry, who is still on the road to recovery after picking up a serious knee injury last season.

“When it rains, it definitely pours,” said Frank. “They are unlucky injuries; they are not because we have trained players too hard or we haven’t made them strong enough.
“Of the eight players out, probably five would be starting - depending on the opponent.
“But it is what it is, and we need to deal with it. It’s a big part of a head coach’s job to find those solutions and make the team as competitive as possible."
