Adam Lallana - Starts in preseason match Lallana started and played the first half during Saturday's 4-3 preseason loss to Chelsea.

Impact Lallana got the start in Brighton's preseason match Saturday after dealing with a hamstring injury. He will look to continue to build on strength in order to maintain a significant role for the 2023/24 campaign.

Jeremy Sarmiento - Missing from preseason Sarmiento (foot) will not take part in the club's preseason tour in the United States, Andy Naylor of The Athletic reports.

Impact Sarmiento last got onto the pitch for Brighton back on March 15 against Crystal Palace. Even when healthy, the midfielder made just one appearance in the starting XI and figures to remain primarily a reserve option this season even once given the all-clear.

Jakub Moder - Not traveling for preseason tour Moder (knee) will not join Brighton for its preseason US tour, Andy Naylor of The Athletic reports.

Impact Moder missed the entirety of the 2022-23 campaign and appears to be still working his way back from his long-term knee problem. At this point, given his extended absence, Moder will likely need to make an appearance or two off the bench before being in contention for a spot in the starting XI.

Andi Zeqiri - Returns to Brighton Zeqiri returned to Brighton following the conclusion of his loan with Basel.

Impact Zeqiri has been in an odd position, he is clearly talented after two strong loan spells, yet he hasn't gotten a chance to earn a first team role. The striker scored 18 times for Basel and added a pair of assists, potentially a strong enough showing to get him a look for the Brighton first team.

Michal Karbownik - Shines on loan Karbownik returned to Brighton following the conclusion of his loan to Fortuna Dusseldorf.

Impact Karbownik was brilliant in the 2. Bundesliga, totaling one goal and seven assists from left-back, while playing 26 matches. The defender now returns to Brighton in red-hot form with eyes on a spot in the first team.

Aaron Connolly - Loan concludes Connolly returned to Brighton following the end of his loan spell to Hull.

Impact Connolly was loaned to Hull and started four matches before suffering a toe injury that ended his 2022-23 season. The forward returns to Brighton at 23, with little chance to break into the first team.

James Furlong - Back with Brighton Furlong returns to Brighton after his loan spell to Motherwell concluded.

Impact Furlong played 16 matches during the second half of the 2022-23 season after joining Motherwell on loan. He wasn't overly productive during that span but he did total three assists from left back. Furlong is a prime candidate for another loan spell, though he could be given the chance to compete for a spot in the first team in pre-season.

Solly March - Returns for pre-season tour March (hamstring) is in the traveling squad for Brighton's pre-season tour of the United States.

Impact March missed the final month of the Premier League but is included in the traveling squad. The forward will hope to get fit for the opening day of the Premier League where he will hope to build on 13 goal contributions in 2022-23. March signed a contract through 2026 and projects to be a major part of the attack moving forward.

Lewis Dunk - Active for pre-season tour Dunk (undisclosed) is in the Brighton traveling squad for the Summer Series tour of the United States.

Impact Dunk is in the traveling squad after departing the England national team with an undisclosed issue. The defender seems to be on track for a return in the opening match of the Premier League, an Aug. 19 trip to Wolverhampton. Dunk made 36 starts in the 2022-23 Premier League and totaled 11 clean sheets.

Adam Lallana - Traveling to United States Lallana (hamstring) is in the traveling squad for the Summer Series tour of the United States.

Impact Lallana was spotted in training last week and is unsurprisingly included in the traveling squad for Brighton's tour of the United States. The veteran midfielder has struggled with injuries of late but could play a significant role if he can stay healthy in the 2023-24 Premier League.

Tariq Lamptey - Training ahead of 2023-24 campaign Lamptey (knee) was pictured training with the first team Friday.

Impact Lamptey last featured for Brighton back on March 4 against West Ham United when he was forced off after just 16 minutes. Prior to his absence, the defender made just three starts in 20 appearances, so fantasy players probably shouldn't be expecting him to feature prominently in the starting XI moving forward.

Jan Paul Van Hecke - Pens contract extension Van Hecke signed a contract extension with Brighton, Brighton announced Thursday.

Impact Van Hecke will spend at least one more season with The Seagulls, and he could see an uptick in playing time after appearing in the final four matches of the Premier League due to injuries elsewhere. That said with everyone fit and available Van Hecke could be left as a more rotational option behind Levi Colwill, Joel Veltman and Adam Webster.

Adam Lallana - Spotted in training Lallana (hamstring) was pictured in training during Thursday's pre-season session.

Impact Lallana closed the 2022-23 season on the sideline due to a hamstring injury. The midfielder is back in training and seems fit and available to open the 2023-24 season with the first team. Lallana totaled 16 appearances (12 starts) in an injury-riddled 2022-23.

Joel Veltman - Pens two-year extension Veltman signed a two-year extension through the 2025-season, Brighton announced Monday.

Impact Veltman has become a crucial part of the Brighton backline and has been rewarded with a two-year contract extension. The center-back will likely head into the 2023-24 season right alongside Lewis Dunk in central defense once more.

Ed Turns - Signs new Brighton contract Turns has signed a new contract with Brighton, keeping him at the club until 2025.

Impact Turns made 16 appearances while on loan at Leyton Orient last season and there's a chance he gets loaned out again for the 2023/24 campaign. But at 20 years old, he could stay on and get reps with the youth team and then be used as an emergency defender for the senior squad.

JULY 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Bart Verbruggen - Joins Seagulls Verbruggen completed a move to Brighton from Anderlecht on Monday.

Impact Verbruggen made 31 appearances for Anderlecht last season in which he conceded 39 goals while earning 11 clean sheets. With Brighton, the 20-year-old keeper will likely start the upcoming campaign with the U21 squad, especially with both Robert Sanchez and Jason Steele still under contract.

Jeremy Sarmiento - Inks new Brighton contract Sarmiento signed a new contract with Brighton, keeping him there until 2027 with an option for an extra year.

Impact Sarmiento added a year to his initial contract which was signed January 2022 despite rarely featuring for the first team. He ended this past season with a foot injury and still doesn't have a set return date, but the club clearly likes what he's done in the past year and a half. No matter, he seems fairly deep on the depth chart given late-season performances by Julio Enciso and Deniz Undav, in addition to other summer signings.

Mahmoud Dahoud - Signs with Brighton Dahoud has signed a four-year contract with Brighton away from Borussia Dortmund.

Impact It's a smart signing for Brighton, as they'll need bodies in the midfield due to departing players, as well as European play. Dahoud struggled with injuries this past season, but he'd started 35 Bundesliga matches the prior two campaigns and figures to immediately fight for time in Brighton's midfield with both Moises Caicedo and Alexis Mac Allister gone.

James Milner - Signs with Brighton Milner has signed a one-year deal with Brighton and will join the club following the end of his Liverpool contract.

Impact This deal for Milner had been assumed for some time, as he'll likely close out his career at Brighton. He appeared in 31 league matches for Liverpool this past season, yet that culminated in just 892 minutes. He'll serve as veteran leadership for the Seagulls, as they enter new waters, likely playing the same kind of role he had at Liverpool the last few years.
