Tariq Lamptey - Added to injury list Lamptey (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's trip to Burnley, according to manager Roberto De Zerbi. "The situation is tough as we have nine injured players. Ferguson, Webster, Lamp...

Impact Lamptey started and played the full 90 last time out, so seeing him ruled out among the long-term injured is certainly a bit of a concern. It's not certain how long he will be on the sideline but for now he's a major doubt in the coming weeks. Lamptey's next chance to return will be against Chelsea on April 20.

James Milner - Still injured Milner (thigh) is out for Saturday's trip to Burnley, manager Roberto De Zerbi announced. "The situation is tough as we have nine injured players. Ferguson, Webster, Lamptey, Milne...

Impact Milner won't be an option as the same thigh injury continues to be a thorn in his side in the back half of the season. The midfielder seemed set to finish the campaign in a solid role before this injury sidelined him for more than two months. Originally he was expected to return in March and now it appears he may not return until the end of April at the earliest.

Adam Webster - Remains out Webster (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's trip to Burnley, according to manager Roberto De Zerbi. "The situation is tough as we have nine injured players. Ferguson, Webster, Lamp...

Impact Webster won't be an option Saturday, though even when he's been fully fit he hasn't been much of an option. It appears injuries and form have essentially played Webster entirely out of the Brighton starting XI. Webster's next chance to return is an April 20 match against Chelsea.

Evan Ferguson - Out once more Ferguson (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's trip to Burnley, according to manager Roberto De Zerbi."The situation is tough as we have nine injured players. Ferguson, Webster, Lamp...

Impact Ferguson won't be an option for Saturday's clash as an undisclosed issue continues to plague him. The knock was originally reported as a minor one but it's now kept him out for at least three matches. Danny Welbeck will continue to start with Ferguson injured.

Jack Hinshelwood - Inks new deal Hinshelwood has signed a new contract with Brighton until the 2028 season, the club announced Tuesday.

Impact Hinshelwood will continue his tenure with the Seagulls, as he inked a new four-year deal with the club. The midfielder only made his debut for the club in 2022, playing one match that season before picking up a decent role this campaign that saw 10 starts in 14 appearances this campaign, notching three goals during those matches. However, his season ended early after suffering a foot injury that required surgery in February. He will now look forward to the next season once healthy, appearing to be a huge part of the club's future after his extension.

Julio Enciso - Takes four shots in loss Enciso generated four shots (two on goal) and three crosses (zero accurate) in Saturday's 3-0 defeat to Arsenal.

Impact Enciso set a new season-high with four shots taken; however, he's still in search of his first goal of the season. The attacking midfielder appeared in the starting lineup and played a season-high 63 minutes.

APRIL 8 • ROTOWIRE

Bart Verbruggen - Concedes three in defeat Verbruggen recorded four saves and allowed three goals in Saturday's 3-0 loss to Arsenal.

Impact Verbruggen was under heavy pressure against Arsenal, allowing three goals. He was beaten by a penalty kick, and two short-range finishes. The goalkeeper has now made 12 saves over the past three games. Next, he'll have an easier matchup against Burnley, the team with the second fewest goals in the league.

Julio Enciso - 26 minutes in draw Enciso registered two shots (one on target) and one chance created in Wednesday's 0-0 draw against Brentford.

Impact Enciso found his way back onto the team sheet Wednesday after missing the club's previous match due to a strain, earning 26 minutes off of the bench. The attacker will now hope the injury bug is behind him for the rest of the season, as he has only featured eight times all campaign. However, he has been decent when on the field, notching four chances created, five crosses and 13 shots to go along with two assists in his 270 minutes of play.

Adam Webster - Ruled out Saturday Webster is out for Saturday's clash with Arsenal, Brighton announced.

Impact Webster won't be an option for Saturday's clash, this comes after he was left out of the squad entirely during a scoreless draw with Brentford mid-week. The defender went unused in four straight matches before that and doesn't change the starting XI much with his absence.

APRIL 5 • ROTOWIRE

Evan Ferguson - Still out Ferguson (knock) is out for Saturday's clash with Arsenal, Brighton announced.

Impact Ferguson won't be an option for Saturday's clash as he struggles with a knock. The forward was surprisingly ruled out mid-week and it appears that the injury is serious enough to stretch the full week. Ferguson's next chance to return is an April 14 trip to Burnley.

APRIL 5 • ROTOWIRE

Facundo Valentin Buonanotte - Solid effort in scoreless draw Buonanotte registered two shots (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Wednesday's 0-0 draw versus Brentford. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 53rd minute.

Impact Buonanotte was back in the starting group after entering as a sub in his previous two appearances. He put on a good performance, as he landed his first shot on goal in four appearances, and he completed 27 passes in the match, which marks a high within that span.

APRIL 4 • ROTOWIRE

Danny Welbeck - Provides late boost Welbeck generated three shots (zero on goal) and two chances created in Wednesday's 0-0 draw against Brentford.

Impact After starting the last game, Welbeck returned to a substitute role, as he entered the match in the 73rd minute. He brought an instant boost of energy taking part in multiple scoring opportunities down the stretch. It marked the third time in his last four appearances that he logged at least three shots.

APRIL 4 • ROTOWIRE

Joao Pedro - Fires five shots in scoreless draw Pedro generated five shots (three on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and four chances created in Wednesday's 0-0 draw versus Brentford.

Impact Pedro made his return from a six-week absence and delivered a full-hearted effort with a season-high five shots. His four chances created also marked a new season high, while he landed an accurate cross and delivered 35 completed passes. He will likely carry on in his starting role, as he started eight of the nine games prior to his absence.

APRIL 4 • ROTOWIRE

Bart Verbruggen - Another clean sheet Verbruggen registered two saves and secured a clean sheet in Wednesday's 0-0 draw versus Brentford.

Impact Verbruggen held on for a third clean sheet in the last four outings. He also made at least two saves for a third match within that span. Up next for Brighton & Hove Albion is a meeting with Arsenal on Saturday.

Ansu Fati - Absence coach's choice Fati missed Wednesday's scoreless draw with Brentford as a coach's decision, manager Roberto De Zerbi told reporters."Fati and Valentin Barco I didn't decide to play with them in t...

Impact Fati has been called out for effort and physical fitness previously by De Zerbi and it seems this is a similar disciplinary action. The forward doesn't seem to be injured and could be back on the pitch as soon as Saturday's clash with Arsenal.

Ansu Fati - Out for Brentford tilt Fati was left off the team sheet for Wednesday's match against Brentford.

Impact Fati was unexpectedly dropped from the squad for Wednesday's contest, seemingly having no injury, as one was not reported ahead of the contest, and instead being dropped for an undisclosed reason. However, it appears it could be due to his brutal spell of form, as he has not bagged a goal contribution in his last 10 appearances despite being an attacker. Either way, it shouldn't affect all that much for the club, as he has been purely used as a substitute lately. Hopefully, more will be available after the match, with a reason for his dropping being released.

APRIL 3 • ROTOWIRE

Evan Ferguson - Not selected Ferguson isn't in the squad for Wednesday's clash with Brentford.

Impact Ferguson wasn't mentioned as being any sort of injury doubt, so it's not clear what's come up that forced him to the sideline. Perhaps it's just poor form, or perhaps Ferguson has a lingering issue, either way, the returning Joao Pedro is back in the starting XI. Manager Roberto De Zerbi could offer some insight after the match.

APRIL 3 • ROTOWIRE

Joao Pedro - Returns to starting XI Pedro (hamstring) is in the starting XI for Wednesday's match against Brentford.

Impact Pedro's addition to the team sheet Wednesday should come as no surprise, as he was set to return for this match, immediately being boasted into a starting role after a nine-match spell on the sidelines. The attacker should remain in the starting XI moving forward amid any injuries, as he has been a regular starter when available and is the top goal scorer, having 19 goal contributions in all competitions.

APRIL 3 • ROTOWIRE

Julio Enciso - On bench against Bees Enciso (strain) is on the bench for Wednesday's match against Brentford.

Impact Enciso makes his return to the team sheet as expected Wednesday, but serving on the bench, with the club appearing to take his return cautiously. He should still get some minutes to test his legs and will hope to find the starting XI in the club's next contest, as he has started in four of the seven matches he has been an option for this season.

Jack Hinshelwood - Done for season Hinshelwood (foot) will remain out for the rest of the season, according to manager Roberto De Zerbi, per Derren Howard of the Sussex Express.

Impact Hinshelwood was already in serious doubt about a return this season following the surgery on his foot in early February, but it's now confirmed he is done for the campaign based on the manager's quotes Tuesday. However, this should come as no surprise for many, as the teenager would not return until the last few matches of the season even if he could get back on the pitch, but that looked to be nullified very quickly after his surgery. He will now look ahead to the start of next season, as he should be ready by then, with his injuries most likely being healed by mid-June. Tarig Lamptey and Joel Veltman will continue serving at right-back in Hinshelwood's absence.

Julio Enciso - Option Wednesday Enciso (strain) is an option for Wednesday's match against Brentford, as manager Roberto De Zerbi stated, "Julio Enciso is also available, we'll see if one of them can start."

Impact Enciso looks to be set for a return Wednesday after missing the club's last match Sunday due to a muscular issue. The club will be happy to have the attacker back after only one game out, as he already missed a stretch of 29 matches earlier this campaign due to a knee injury. The only concern is whether the player will start or not, as the club will not want to risk aggravating the injury immediately but will also want one of their regular starters on the field. However, with the injury appearing to only be minor, there seems to be a decent chance he could get the start, with Danny Welbeck or Jakub Moder likely getting the start instead if Enciso starts on the bench.

Joao Pedro - Set to play Wednesday Pedro (hamstring) is expected to be an option for Wednesday's match against Brentford, as manager Roberto De Zerbi told reporters, "Joao played an Under-21 friendly on Saturday an...

Impact Pedro looks to be in line for his return following a lengthy spell on the sidelines due to a hamstring issue, as he was given time with the U21s this weekend and is now fit enough to be back with the first team. The only question surrounding the player is if he will start and how long he will play if he is given that role. After an eight-match tenure out, it is most likely that the club will keep the attacker on the bench to start, with him seeing time off the bench while Evan Furgenson gets the start, as the club will not want to risk his health with the end of the season on the horizon. However, after this match, he should be expected to start, as he is the top goal-scorer at the club this season, notching 19 goals across all competitions.

Bart Verbruggen - Heroic despite loss Verbruggen recorded six saves and allowed two goals in Sunday's 2-1 defeat against Liverpool.

Impact Verbruggen stopped six of the eight shots that troubled his net and was well positioned for some near misses. In the end the sheer volume of Liverpool shots ended up beating Verbruggen, as Mohamed Salah snatched the second half winner. Verbruggen will have easier matches to look forward to, and even with the loss this was a respectable showing.
