Brentford boss Thomas Frank criticised a “reckless tackle” from Manchester City midfielder Mateo Kovacic after Yoane Wissa was forced off during Saturday's Premier League clash. Forward Wissa had given the Bees a shock lead against the champions, nodding in the opener after only 22 seconds at the Etihad Stadium.

Yoane Wissa is set to miss ‘a couple of months’ after picking up an ankle injury in Brentford’s defeat at Manchester City on Saturday. The forward scored the opening goal of the game for the Bees before Erling Haaland netted twice to give the Premier League champions a 2-1 win.

The Brentford head coach has now confirmed that Wissa has sustained an ankle injury which is set to keep him out until November. "Wissa is, unfortunately, not good news - it looks like an injury that will be a couple of months," Frank told reporters ahead of Tuesday's EFL Cup clash with Leyton Orient.
