Set to miss three months
van den Berg (undisclosed) is reportedly set to miss three months with an injury, according to Uzzi Majid of Richmond and Twickenham Times.
Analysis: van den Berg has been an established figure in Brentford's defense since arriving from Liverpool in 2024, eventually settling into a central role alongside Kristoffer Ajer and Nathan Collins after initially covering both full back spots. His injury is a blow for manager Keith Andrews heading into the 2026/27 Premier League season given his importance to the back line, though the club has options to cope in his absence, including new signing Jannik Schuster, who arrived this summer from RB Salzburg with Europa League experience.
Provides assist late
van den Berg assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-2 draw against Crystal Palace.
Analysis: van den Berg came off the bench in the 82nd minute and got a vital touch at the near post in the 88th, flicking on Michael Kayode's long throw to set up Dango Ouattara's headed equalizer that salvaged a point for Brentford. His sharp movement and timing in that near-post pocket were the crucial spark in the late sequence that ultimately denied Crystal Palace all three points. After not starting in the Bees' last two matches, Van den Berg made his case loud and clear as an impact option who can swing games off the bench.
