BrentfordPlays second half
Yarmolyuk had one shot (zero on goal) in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Sunderland. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 69th minute.
Analysis: Yarmolyuk has now appeared as a substitute in each of Brentford's first three Premier League matches, with Saturday representing his largest opportunity as he played the entire second half. He managed one attempt and was part of a reshaped midfield as Brentford improved following the interval and took the lead through Vitaly Janelt. His repeated involvement off the bench gives him a pathway toward a larger midfield role if his workload continues to increase.
One chance created off bench
Yarmolyuk generated one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Leeds United.
Analysis: Yarmolyuk came on for Mikkel Damsgaard in the 69th minute and delivered one cross in 21 minutes of action as Brentford looked to maintain their attacking shape following Dominic Calvert-Lewin's equalizer. He was able to create only one clear-cut chance in his cameo but contributed to Brentford's continued pressure in the closing stages. Yarmolyuk has now appeared as a substitute in both of Brentford's opening Premier League fixtures and will push for more minutes as the season develops under manager Keith Andrews.
Still building fitness
Yarmolyuk remains short of full fitness following a disrupted preseason, according to coach Keith Andrews. "Yarmo has obviously had a slightly disrupted pre-season. He's been building carefully, but he's still not up to full speed yet, so we constantly need to be looking after him."
Analysis: Yarmolyuk provided an assist in Tuesday's 6-1 Carabao Cup win over Birmingham before being withdrawn in the 48th minute as his workload continues to be managed. The midfielder remains a key part of Brentford's midfield, though his minutes could continue to be monitored in the short term as he works back toward a full workload.
First Brentford goal seals win
Yarmolyuk scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and three crosses (zero accurate) in Wednesday's 3-0 win over Sunderland.
Analysis: Yarmolyuk capped the win with his first goal for Brentford in the 73rd minute, finishing from close range after a scramble in the area. He complemented that moment with disciplined midfield work, helping Brentford control second balls and protect the back line after taking the lead. The goal reflected his knack for arriving in the right spaces when play breaks down. Yarmolyuk also tied three season highs with three shots, three crosses, and two interceptions to end his likely best game of the season so far with the Bees.
Delivers one assist
Yarmolyuk assisted once to go with two shots (zero on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 4-1 win versus AFC Bournemouth.
Analysis: Yarmolyuk turned in a well-rounded performance against Bournemouth on Saturday, providing his second assist of the season while adding two shots and two key passes, and contributing defensively with two tackles and an interception. The midfielder remains an important piece for his side, though regular attacking returns should not be expected, as he has yet to score and now has two assists across 18 Premier League appearances this season.
Starts in midfield
Yarmolyuk (knock) is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash against Crystal Palace.
Analysis: Yarmolyuk suffered a knock in Saturday's clash against Liverpool which forced him off early, but the issue revealed to be minor since he is back available for Saturday's game against Crystal Palace. The Ukrainian starts in midfield after recovering in time and maintaining his ever-present status in the league this season. His return is a boost for the Bees as they look to continue their decent start of the season.
Option to face Palace
Yarmolyuk (knock) is back available for Saturday's clash against Crystal Palace, the club announced.
Analysis: Yarmolyuk suffered a knock in Saturday's clash against Liverpool which forced him off early, but the issue revealed to be minor since he is back available for Saturday's game against Crystal Palace. This is good news for the Bees since the Ukrainian started all the Premier League games this season for the club and will likely return to a starting role on Saturday.
Injured early
Yarmolyuk was injured during the first half of Saturday's 3-2 win over Liverpool.
Analysis: Yarmolyuk was forced off during the first 30 minutes of Saturday's win due to an apparent injury. The nature of the issue is unclear, but the midfielder has to be brought off in favor of Vitaly Janelt. Yarmolyuk has started every match this season, and has a week to get fit for a Saturday trip to Crystal Palace.
Features with Ukraine
Yarmolyuk (undisclosed) started and played 85 minutes in a World Cup qualifier against Azerbaijan on Monday.
Analysis: Yarmolyuk suffered a knock in the club's last outing before the international break, but his injury only appeared to be minor, as the midfielder was back in action with his national team. This is huge news for his club, as he has started in all seven games to start the season. He should then return to that spot immediately, with one assist in his seven appearances this campaign.
Suffers knock
Yarmolyuk suffered a knock in Sunday's 1-0 loss to Manchester City.
Analysis: Yarmolyuk will head into the international break dealing with some issues, as the midfielder was taken off the field Sunday due to an apparent knock. The good news is he will have around two weeks with no match to recover due to the international break, giving him ample time to recover if the claims of a knock are true. He has yet to miss a start in seven games this season, so they will hope for his availability upon their return from the break, facing West Ham on Oct. 20.
First assist of the year
Yarmolyuk assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-1 victory over Manchester United.
Analysis: Yarmolyuk delivered his first assist of the year, as he set up Mathias Jensen for their squad's final goal of the match. This marked the third consecutive game where Yarmolyuk accounted for a chance created. He also registered his first shot in three outings and topped 30 completed passes for the third time in six games.
