Kristoffer Ajer
27-Year-Old

Injury Ankle
Est. Return 2/1/2026
Avoids major injury
Ajer (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's match against Aston Villa, according to manager Keith Andrews. "It was concerning, but they're both pretty good, really. It's nothing serious. Whether they'll be available for the weekend or not, I'm not entirely sure on both of them, but if they're not, they won't be far off. That tells you it's not too bad, thankfully, because I was pretty worried."
ANALYSIS
Ajer looks to be on the verge of making the team Sunday after he was taken off the field early in their last outing, having already avoided a major injury. The hope will be that he is an option to play, and potentially start immediately, as he has started in six of their past seven games. He will likely face some late testing to decide if he can play, with Sepp van den Berg likely to earn the start if Ajer cannot.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Wolfsburg looking at him
Wolfsburg could make a move to sign Ajer in the near future, according to Sky Sports.
ANALYSIS
Ajer has emerged as a regular starter for Brentford this season, but the 27-year-old could leave the Bees in the coming weeks. Wolfsburg are decided to make a strong push for the Norway international during the January transfer window, although Brentford could very well reject any approaches for one of their most consistent defenders.
