Brentford midfielder Antoni Milambo went down with a potentially serious knee injury during the Euro U21 qualifier between the Netherlands and Bosnia & Herzegovina on Friday. The 19-year-old jumped over a tackle before landing awkwardly and clutching his knee in pain.
The non-contact nature of the injury, coupled with Milambo's screams of agony, suggests a possible serious knee ligament issue that could keep him sidelined for an extended period. Given his injury history, this setback could significantly impact his development at Brentford.
Milambo had been expected to play a key role for Brentford this season, having made a promising start with Feyenoord last year. He scored three goals in the Champions League and added three goals and six assists domestically. However, he hasn't featured for Brentford yet due to injury concerns.
Given the severity of the injury, it's likely Milambo will undergo further medical tests to determine the extent of the damage. We'll keep an eye on updates regarding his recovery timeline.
Netherlands U21 player Milambo was stretchered off just before halftime due to an injury and was replaced by Jorg Schreuders. Meanwhile, Como's Jayden Addai suffered a hamstring injury in the 20th minute and was substituted by Ro-Zangelo Daal from AZ.
Adjusting to Life in the Premier League
Antoni Milambo, a 20-year-old midfielder, made the switch to Brentford from Feyenoord last summer, with the transfer fee reportedly amounting to €20 million. After starting the season strongly, Milambo found himself benched, playing only 68 minutes across all competitions since September.
Milambo's time on the bench could be attributed to the intense competition at Brentford or perhaps an adjustment period as he settles into the Premier League's fast-paced environment. Despite this, Milambo has expressed excitement about joining the Premier League, citing the league's high tempo and intensity as significant differences from the Dutch Eredivisie.

The young midfielder has been praised for his creativity and ability to score goals, having scored 7 goals and provided 9 assists in 43 matches for Feyenoord last season. With a long-term contract at Brentford, Milambo is expected to play a key role for the team in the coming seasons.
