MAY 18, 2023 • YOUTUBE

Pervis Estupinan - Creates two chances in loss Estupinan recorded three crosses (one accurate), two chances created and one corner in Thursday's 4-1 defeat to Newcastle United.

Impact Estupinan created two chances Thursday, his 16th match this season with multiple. He also whipped in three crosses (one accurate) and one corner on the attack. On defense he won all three of his attempted tackles and made one clearance in his full 90 minutes of action.

Billy Gilmour - Assists in loss Gilmour assisted once on one chance created in Thursday's 4-1 defeat to Newcastle United.

Impact Gilmour recorded his first assist of the season Thursday as his through ball found Deniz Undav in the 51st minute to cut the lead to 2-1. It was the only chance Gilmour created in the match to go with one interception and one clearance in his 56 minutes of action.

Jason Steele - Concedes four in loss Steele recorded five saves and allowed four goals in Thursday's 4-1 defeat versus Newcastle United.

Impact Steele conceded four goals Thursday, his second match in his last three starts conceding four or more goals. He did make a season high five saves though, as his defense was torn apart by the red-hot Newcastle attack. He faces a much easier matchup Sunday versus already relegated Southampton, a side which has scored just 31 goals in 36 league matches this season.

Deniz Undav - Scores goal and own goal Undav scored one goal to go with an own goal and two shots (one on goal) in Thursday's 4-1 defeat versus Newcastle United. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 47th minut...

Impact Undav had an extremely busy match in Thursday's loss. He kicked off the scoring in the 22nd minute with an own goal to give Newcastle the 1-0 lead. He then scored a goal for himself on the other end in the 51st minute assisted by Billy Gilmour. It marks his second straight match with a goal, as he finished with two shots (one on target) in his 85 minutes of action. He also picked up a yellow card in the 47th minute, his first booking of the season.

Jan Paul Van Hecke - Makes second start Van Hecke got the start and made four blocks during Thursday's 4-1 loss to Newcastle.

Impact Van Hecke made just his second start in the Premier League and fifth appearance Thursday. The defender is buried at the bottom of the depth chart, only starting due to injuries to Levi Colwill (undisclosed), Joel Veltman (hamstring), and Adam Webster (strain). Van Hecke could see more starting time to close out the Premier League due to those same injuries elsewhere in the team.

MAY 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Levi Colwill - Missing from squad Thursday Colwill will not be in the squad versus Newcastle United on Thursday due to an undisclosed reason.

Impact Colwill started against Arsenal on Sunday in which he registered five clearances, three interceptions and two tackles (two won). The defender has been limited to just 14 appearances this season due to injury but did make 10 starts when fit enough to play. With Colwill out, Jan Paul van Hecke will feature in the starting XI alongside Lewis Dunk.

MAY 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Julio Enciso - Available as substitute Enciso (undisclosed) was named to the match-day squad versus Newcastle United on Thursday.

Impact After featuring as a substitute for the first nine months of the season, Ensico had featured in four of the last five contests. In those appearances, the attacking midfielder generated one goal on 12 shots (four on target), two assists and seven chances created. While he won't be in the starting XI on Thursday, Ensico should be in contention heading into the final three matches of the season.

Veltman expected to return for Brighton before end of season Brighton and Hove Albion head coach Roberto De Zerbi expects to have Joel Veltman back to solve a right-back crisis for the last three match...

Adam Webster - Will remain out Webster (strain) will remain out for Thursday's trip to Newcastle and possibly longer, according to manager Roberto De Zerbi.

Impact The exact issue hasn't been revealed for Webster, but De Zerbi hasn't sounded too positive in recent press conferences. Webster has been a regular most of the season, but a couple injuries have resulted in minutes for Levi Colvill, who was a key part in keeping Arsenal off the scoresheet in last weekend's win.

MAY 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Julio Enciso - Should be fine Thursday Enciso is expected to be fine for Thursday's match against Newcastle after manager Roberto De Zerbi didn't mention him in Wednesday's press conference.

Impact Enciso could remain in the starting XI Thursday, as Brighton are still lacking depth with Solomon March and a few others out. He's started four of the past five league matches and assuming he didn't suffer a muscle issue over the weekend, should hold onto that starting role, though Facundo Buonanotte is an option as well on a short week.

MAY 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Robert Sanchez - Staying out of squad Sanchez will miss the squad for Thursday's match against Newcastle, according to manager Roberto De Zerbi. "I spoke with Robert before the Arsenal game and we decided together that...

Impact De Zerbi didn't dive into complete detail at his press conference, but it sounds like Sanchez doesn't agree with being benched and is passing on being the backup. He has just one league start since February and doesn't seem likely to return to the XI the rest of the way with his future at Brighton in doubt if behind Jason Steele on the depth chart.

MAY 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Solly March - Doubt to feature again this season March (hamstring) is a heavy doubt to feature again this season, according to manager Roberto De Zerbi. "I don't know if Solly can play in the last part of the season."

Impact This was expected to be the case for March, who pulled up with the hamstring injury in the May 8 loss to Everton. Brighton are thin on players with four matches over the final 11 days of the season and the absence of March doesn't help. It likely means more minutes for younger players like Julio Enciso and Facundo Buonanotte, who have both played well the past few weeks.

Moises Caicedo speaks out after 'bad tackle' on Gabriel Martinelli Moises Caicedo has spoken publicly for the first time since dangerous tackle from behind on Gabriel Martinelli.

MAY 16, 2023 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Deniz Undav - Scores as substitute Undav scored one goal to go with three shots (three on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 3-0 win over Arsenal.

Impact Undav has three goals across his four appearances between April 29 and May 14. But despite logging a brace during the former date, he has recorded fewer than 70 minutes since then. Ideally for Undav, his latest log will give him more playing time he seemingly deserves.

MAY 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Julio Enciso - Scores, suffers injury Enciso scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 3-0 victory over Arsenal. He was injured and subbed out in...

Impact Enciso logged Brighton & Hove Albion's first goal before suffering an undisclosed injury that limited his usage Sunday. He was replaced by Deniz Undav, who scored the team's third goal. As for Enciso, his availability will be a game-time decision before BHA visits Newcastle United on Thursday.

MAY 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Pascal Gross - Logs assist as CDM Gross assisted once to go with two crosses (zero accurate) and two corners in Sunday's 3-0 victory against Arsenal.

Impact Gross logged the assist to Brighton & Hove Albion's second goal, scored by Deniz Undav. Gross' best continues to be given while he serves as a defensive midfielder. Across his last 13 games started in that position, the German logged three goals and five assists.

MAY 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Pervis Estupinan - Goal and assist Estupinan scored one goal and assisted once from two shots and one chance created in Sunday's 3-0 win versus Arsenal.

Impact Estupinan logged the assist to Brighton & Hove Albion's first goal, recorded by midfielder Julio Enciso. The defender scored one of his own later. Having an excellent game against one of the 2022-23 Premier League's best teams is promising, which BHA demanded after signing him from Villarreal.

MAY 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Jason Steele - Two-save clean sheet Steele registered two saves and secured a clean sheet in Sunday's 3-0 win versus Arsenal.

Impact To maintain a clean sheet, Steele saved shots attempted by Gabriel Jesus and Leandro Trossard. Despite a five-goal disaster against Everton on May 8, this month has been good for the goalkeeper rather than not. Steele has two clean sheets across his three appearances of May.

Impact Webster was taken off at halftime against Everton on Monday in what initially appeared to be a tactical change with the club down 3-0. The central defender was replaced by Levi Colwill, who could be in line to feature in the starting XI versus Arsenal in Webster's stead.

Joel Veltman - Season in doubt Veltman (hamstring) may not be able to return this season with manager Roberto De Zerbi telling reporters Friday, "I want to understand if Joel Veltman can play," per Richard Mills...

Impact Veltman is not expected to be ready to face Arsenal on Sunday but with the club having five matches left in the season, there remains the possibility he could be back in the squad at some point. In the meantime, Pascal Gross figures to continue serving as the right-back option, especially with Tariq Lamptey (knee) also unavailable.
