Likely to miss time
Janelt suffered a metatarsal injury during the game against Brighton and is set to miss some time to recover, the club announced.
ANALYSIS
Janelt picked up a metatarsal injury during last week's clash against Brighton and has already begun his rehab process, but he is expected to miss time. This is a major setback for the Bees, as the midfielder has been a steady presence in the engine room all season and his absence now forces a reshuffle in the starting XI, with Yehor Yarmolyuk and Jordan Henderson emerging as the leading candidates to step into his role.
