Brentford goalkeeper Thomas Strakosha bizarrely 'suffers ankle ligament injury after saving a penalty from team-mate Kristoffer Ajer in TRAINING'... with the shot-stopper set to be sidelined for 'weeks'

Brentford goalkeeper Thomas Strakosha has suffered ankle ligament damage after saving a penalty from team-mate Kristoffer Ajer in training, according to reports.

Strakosha joined the Bees on a free transfer in July after being released by Lazio at the end of his contract the previous month.

He is yet to play a minute for Thomas Frank's side in the Premier League due to finding himself behind David Raya in the pecking order, but he did make his debut in the Carabao Cup against Colchester United in August.

Having been consistently overlooked since that game, he will now have a further wait for his next opportunity as he is expected to be sidelined for 'weeks' after picking up his injury in bizarre fashion, as reported by The Athletic.
