Roerslev sustained the injury when going for a header with Burnley forward David Datro Fofana.

The right-back was floored for a few minutes while receiving medical attention.

But medics were unable to stem the flow of blood from his mouth which forced him off.

Roerslev has been deputising at right-back in the absence of Scottish full-back Aaron Hickey.

The Bees have been struggling greatly with defensive injuries and yet another for Roerslev will not help in their bid to stave off relegation.

They are already without the aforementioned Hickey, Rico Henry, Ben Mee and Ethan Pinnock.

Matters were made worse by Spurs loanee Sergio Reguilon getting sent off after just nine minutes.

He’ll miss Brentford‘s next game against his former club Manchester United on March 30.

The red card will not trigger a three-game suspension due to the red not being for violent conduct.

Burnley are desperate for victory against Brentford as they look to keep their razor-thin survival hopes alive.
