Frank confirms Brentford will be missing Wissa for two months due to injury: Ansser Sadiq

The player suffered an ankle injury during a 2-1 defeat against Manchester City over the weekend.

Wissa, who has been in fine form so far this term, will now miss a chunk of game time. 

Post-game, boss Thomas 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."
