Suffers shoulder injury
Johnstone (shoulder) is ruled out for Friday's clash against West Ham and could miss the remainder of the season, according to Liam Keen from Express and Star.
Analysis: Johnstone is dealing with a shoulder injury and will miss Friday's clash against West Ham, and could be sidelined for the rest of the season. The goalkeeper operates as the No. 2 option behind Jose Sa, so his absence is unlikely to be felt, with Daniel Bentley expected to serve as the backup in his place.
Has costly own goal
Johnstone made two saves and allowed two goals, but also 1 an own goal in Saturday's 2-1 loss to Arsenal.
Analysis: It's tough to fault Johnstone too much, as the ball bounced off him after he misread a corner kick. He was also the victim of a second own goal for Wolves, though he didn't have much of a chance of stopping that. Johnstone has a challenging matchup looming as he tries to recover from this setback against Brentford. The Bees have 21 goals in 15 EPL matches.
