Scores for U21 side
Carvalho scored for Brentford's Under-21 side during their 5-1 Premier League 2 win over Sunderland Under-21s, according to the club.
Analysis: Carvalho continues to build up his fitness following a lengthy recovery from a knee injury, having previously returned to action as a substitute during preseason against Rennes. His appearance and goal for the U21s represent another positive step as he works toward full match sharpness and increased first-team involvement. Carvalho should eventually provide additional competition for Dango Ouattara, Mikkel Damsgaard and Kevin Schade in Brentford's attacking positions once fully up to speed.
Back in first-team action
Carvalho (knee) came on as a second-half substitute in Brentford's preseason victory over Rennes on Saturday, per the club's official match report.
Analysis: Carvalho coming through a competitive appearance without setback is exactly the update Brentford needed to bolster their offensive power ahead of the Premier League opener against Tottenham on Aug. 22. Following a lengthy recovery, his cameo off the bench suggests he's not quite ready to push for a starting role yet, though his near-miss against the post shows the sharpness has not deserted him. He should be in contention for minutes at some point in the season, challenging Dango Ouattara, Mikkel Damsgaard and Kevin Schade in attacking midfield.
