Back on training pitch Lallana (calf) could be a bench option versus Liverpool on Saturday after manager Roberto De Zerbi told reporters, "Adam Lallana trained today with the squad and the first XI. I th...

Impact Considering Lallana hasn't been on the pitch since Aug. 21 versus West Ham United, the fact that he will come off the bench the first time out shouldn't be a surprise. Still, the attacking midfielder did start all three of his appearances before suffering his calf problem and could be in contention for a spot in the starting XI once back to 100 percent.

Should be involved against Arsenal Lallana is closer to being involved Saturday against Arsenal, according to manager Graham Potter.

Impact Lallana came back to the squad last weekend as a bit of a surprise and now he's closer to being fit enough to see minutes against Arsenal. That being the case, he doesn't seem to be completely healthy just yet, which means Yves Bissouma could move back in the XI unless Potter uses the same group as last weekend's draw against Norwich.

In match day squad Lallana (hamstring) is in Brighton's match day squad for Saturday's clash against Norwich.

Impact Lallana wasn't expected to be fit for Saturday after injuring his hamstring a few weeks ago against Liverpool, but he's managed to be fit enough to start the Norwich game on the bench for his side.

APRIL 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Unavailable against Norwich Lallana (hamstring) will not be in the squad to face Norwich City on Saturday. Manager Graham Potter told reporters, "Adam Lallana's been training but will miss this weekend too."

Impact Certainly the fact that Lallana has been training over the international break is good news but fantasy players will have to wait at least another week to see the midfielder restored to the squad. Considering Lallana was an unused substitute in three of the club's last seven contests, in addition to making just two starts over that stretch, he is far from a lock for the starting XI even once cleared to play. As such, Lallana shouldn't be expected to offer more than mid-range fantasy value moving forward.

MARCH 31, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Waiting for hamstring scan Lallana is waiting to get a scan done on his hamstring and will likely miss Wednesday's match against Tottenham, according to manager Graham Potter.

Impact While it could be a minor hamstring injury, that still means a couple weeks out, especially for a player past 30 years old. Lallana has struggled for time in the second half of the season partly because of injuries and this one will keep him out another week or two.

MARCH 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Subs on, comes off injured Lallana subbed on for the second half of Saturday's 2-0 loss to Liverpool, before departing due to an injury.

Impact Lallana was just recovering from a hamstring injury and was able to make his way onto the pitch in the second half. Unfortunately the midfielder only lasted eight minutes before coming off the pitch once more. The hope is that it's a minor set-back, though hamstring injuries rarely are.

MARCH 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Making progress ahead of weekend Lallana is making progress with his hamstring injury ahead of Saturday's trip to Newcastle, according to manager Graham Potter.

Impact Lallana is making progress, but that doesn't mean he's going to start following his hamstring issue. He's been used a lot this season, but Brighton have other options in the midfield even if those options haven't done too well in recent contests.

MARCH 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Misses out with hamstring injury Lallana was not in the squad for Saturday's match against Aston Villa because of a minor hamstring injury.

Impact Lallana will hope to get back in training this week ahead of the trip to Newcastle. He'd started two of three matches prior to injury, though he doesn't seem to have the same role as earlier in the season. After three-straight losses, Brighton could move to a different formation, which may not allow for a spot for Lallana.

FEBRUARY 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

On bench before break Lallana (hamstring) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Leicester City.

Impact Lallana makes a surprise return Sunday despite already being labeled as out for the match. It's hard to see him coming off the bench given that he has a hamstring injury, meaning he probably shouldn't push it too hard, especially with the international break ahead.

JANUARY 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Out ahead of international break Lallana (hamstring) isn't an option for Sunday's trip to Leicester, according to assistant manger Billy Reid.

Impact This isn't too surprising for Lallana, who suffered a hamstring injury a week ago. He could return over the international break, but given the lack of updates from the team, he could be out anywhere from two weeks to a month, if not longer if it's severe. Pascal Gross is expected to continue in the midfield in Lallana's absence.

JANUARY 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Picks up hamstring issue Lallana picked up a hamstring injury last match and is a major doubt for Tuesday's game against Chelsea, according to manager Graham Potter.

Impact It's hard to see Lallana being an option a few days after suffering an injury to his hamstring, so he'll be out Tuesday despite what Potter thinks. While the numbers aren't overwhelming, Lallana has been a constant this season with 16 starts and he'll have to be replaced. That could mean Tariq Lamptey which would in turn change their formation against Chelsea, who they used a 3-4-2-1 against only a few weeks ago.

JANUARY 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Exits early Friday Lallana was forced off in the 56th minute of Friday's match against Crystal Palace with an undisclosed issue.

Impact This didn't look like a major injury for Lallana, but it was enough to force him out of the game Friday. While he's been a regular this season, his numbers don't show much, producing no goals and one assist from 18 shots and seven chances in 16 starts (18 appearances).

JANUARY 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Set for bench appearance Lallana (quadriceps) is expected to be an option off the bench against Wolverhampton on Wednesday. Manager Graham Potter told reporters, "Adam Lallana has got a chance of making th...

Impact If Lallana comes off the bench versus Wolves, it would be just the second substitute appearance for the midfielder, having featured in 12 of his 13 matches. Lallana has struggled to score goals ever since the 2016-17 campaign when he tallied eight for Liverpool and has just two goals since.

DECEMBER 14, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Limited to individual work Lallana (quadriceps) was held to individual pitch work Friday and is expected to miss out versus Tottenham on Sunday.

Impact Lallana's resumption of training activities could help him get back in the squad either Wednesday or Saturday versus Wolverhampton or Manchester United, respectively. The midfielder has started 12 of 13 appearances for the club this year in which he garnered one assist, 10 shots (two on target) and 22 tackles (12 won).

DECEMBER 10, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Out against Southampton Lallana (quadriceps) has been ruled out of Saturday's clash against Southampton, Brighton manager Graham Potter confirmed Thursday.

Impact Lallana was forced out of Wednesday's draw against West Ham with an injury, and he will miss Saturday's game as well. The full severity of his injury is still unclear, but Pascal Gross or Enock Mwepu would likely fill in for him in midfield.

DECEMBER 2, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Comes off injured against West Ham Lallana came out of Wednesday's draw against West Ham United in the 85th minute after suffering an apparent injury. He took a shot and won one of one tackles in the match before be...

Impact Lallana has appeared in all but one of Brighton's 14 Premier League games this season, starting 12 of them. It is unclear whether this potential injury will force him to miss any additional game time, but Pascal Gross or Enock Mwepu could fill in for him in midfield Saturday against Southampton if necessary.

DECEMBER 1, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Supplies assist during draw Lallana supplied one assist, took one shot (one on goal) and made five tackles (won one) during Saturday's 2-2 draw against Liverpool.

Impact Lallana found Leandro Trossard in the 65th minute and Trossard did the rest by beating two Liverpool defenders before slotting past Alisson Becker. This was Lallana's first assist of the season and may be tough to rely on heading into Saturday's match with Newcastle.

Busy defensively in win Lallana made three tackles and interceptions during Sunday's 2-1 win over Leicester City.

Impact Lallana was excellent during Sunday's win, setting himself apart with some excellent play behind the ball. Lallana's upside is limited with his lack of attacking aplomb, but he can create a solid floor with defensive volume. Next up is a Monday trip to London, against Crystal Palace.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Quiet to start year Lallana has started two of Brighton's three matches to open the new season.

Impact Lallana has started both of Brighton's past two matches but has done little during his time on the pitch. The midfielder has a combined 184 of a possible 270 minutes on the pitch and has failed to register a shot, cross or create a chance thus far.

SEPTEMBER 2, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Plays 41 minutes Tuesday Lallana played 41 minutes off the bench in Tuesday's win against Manchester City.

Impact Lallana is two matches removed from his injury and looks to be healthy heading into Sunday's finale. Given the situation and injuries/suspensions in the squad, it wouldn't be surprising if Lallana returned to the starting XI against Arsenal, closing what has been a mostly successful season for him.

Could return against Hammers Lallana (calf) could be an option for Saturday's match against West Ham, according to manager Graham Potter. "He trained fully today, so we will see how he is over the next 48 hour...

Impact Lallana's return would be a nice boost to the squad Saturday, but he's missed the last two matches with a calf issue and there's no reason to push the veteran with nothing to play for. If he's not ready to start, Alexis Mac Allister will likely come into the XI instead for the suspended Neal Maupay.
