Brentford Extend Josh Dasilva Contract Amid Injury Recovery Journey

Brentford has extended midfielder Josh Dasilva's contract until the end of the season, with a club option for an additional year, as he continues to recover from a serious knee injury sustained in February 2024. Dasilva, 27, has undergone three operations including ACL, MCL, and meniscus repairs, which have kept him off the pitch for nearly two years, but he is now progressing in rehabilitation and aims to return to training after the November international break. The club and head coach Keith Andrews have expressed strong support, emphasizing Dasilva's importance to the team both on and off the field, highlighting his understanding of the club and his potential impact once fully fit. Dasilva expressed gratitude for the club’s faith and support during his challenging recovery, focusing on taking his rehabilitation one step at a time without looking too far ahead. His last competitive appearance was in January 2024, and the contract extension reflects Brentford's confidence in his ability to regain his previous form and contribute significantly to the squad. This continuation marks Dasilva's eighth season with Brentford since joining from Arsenal's academy in 2018, underscoring his value and commitment to the club.
