Pascal Gross - Quiet in draw Gross took one shot (off target), delivered five inaccurate crosses and blocked two shot attempts in last Sunday's 1-1 draw against Leicester.

Impact Gross also won the only tackle he put in prior to being withdrawn in the 62nd minute. Despite his decent utility within Brighton's squad, Gross hasn't played a full 90 since late November, restricting his fantasy value.

Leandro Trossard - Creates three chances in draw Trossard took three shots (one on target) and created three chances in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Leicester City.

Impact Trossard was a threat going forward to Leicester, but he couldn't find a way through for a would-be game winner. He is still scoreless in the Premier League in 2022 but after the international break he will face Chelsea, which have conceded just 18 goals in 24 matches this season.

Robert Sanchez - Concedes goal against Leicester Sanchez made four saves but conceded a goal in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Leicester City.

Impact Sanchez was beaten by a Patson Daka strike early in the second half of Sunday, but his side rallied back and equalized via a late header from Danny Welbeck. Sanchez is yet to keep a clean sheet in 2022, and it won't get any easier after the international break against Chelsea, which have scored 48 goals in 24 Premier League matches.

Neal Maupay - Records assist against Leicester Maupay took a shot on target and assisted a goal in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Leicester City. He created three chances overall in the match.

Impact Maupay now has two Premier League assists in January following his cross for Danny Welbeck's equalizer on Sunday. With seven goals on the season, he is just three away from tying his personal best campaign in 2019/20, and he will be looking for more after the international break against Chelsea, which have conceded just 28 times in 24 matches.

Danny Welbeck - Scores goal against Leicester Welbeck subbed into Sunday's match against Leicester City in the 62nd minute and he scored a goal in the 1-1 draw.

Impact Welbeck headed in the equalizer in the 82nd minute on Saturday, his third goal of the season. He has started just one Premier League match since September for Brighton, and he will likely continue to be used as an impact substitute after the international break.

Adam Lallana - 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.

Lewis Dunk - Back in squad Sunday Dunk (knee) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Leicester City.

Impact Dunk returns to the side Sunday after a multi-month absence with a knee injury. He isn't starting given the lengthy layoff, but the good news is that he'll be an option again following the international break.

JANUARY 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Adam Lallana - 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.

Lewis Dunk - Late test for Sunday Dunk (knee) has been training and will be a late test for Sunday's trip to Leicester, according to assistant manager Billy Reid.

Impact Dunk has been out since early December, so it's hard to see him being ready to start Sunday without much training. The good news is that he's getting back to health and if all goes well, he should regain full fitness over the break and be an option to start in a couple weeks.

JANUARY 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Shane Duffy - Set to remain out Duffy (ankle) will remain out ahead of the international break, according to assistant manager Billy Reid.

Impact Duffy has missed the last two matches with this ankle injury and he'll miss a third ahead of the break. The team hasn't given a ton of info on the exact injury, but he'll hope to get back in training over the break and be an option starting February.

Lewis Dunk - Training, still out Dunk (knee) is back in training but needs more work before he's ready to play, according to manager Graham Potter.

Impact Dunk will only have a couple days of training ahead of Tuesday's match against Chelsea, so there's no reason to think he'll be ready to start. His return will be a boost for Brighton's back line, which has recently gone to a four-man group with Dan Burn at center-back, something Webster's return would change.

Pascal Gross - Productive against Palace Gross took two shots (one on target) and created four chances in Friday's 1-1 draw versus Crystal Palace.

Impact Gross was very active in his 73 minutes of play, as he also delivered four of nine crosses accurately and chipped in an interception and clearance defensively. The midfielder has been in and out of the lineup lately due to COVID-19, but he'll hope his latest performance earns him another start Tuesday against Chelsea.

JANUARY 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Adam Lallana - 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

Shane Duffy - Dealing with ankle injury Duffy is dealing with an ankle injury and will likely miss Tuesday's match against Chelsea, according to manager Graham Potter.

Impact Duffy hasn't started since Dec. 4 because of a variety of issues and this is another one that'll cost him at least two matches. He had a good start to the season, but with injuries piling up, he hasn't seen as much time, something that could continue in the second half.

JANUARY 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Tariq Lamptey - Fit to start Lamptey (groin) is fit to start Tuesday against Chelsea after coming off the bench in the prior matches, according to manager Graham Potter.

Impact This was expected to be the case for Lamptey after the team was being cautious with him for a minor groin complaint. He's come off the bench the last two league matches, but he's often one of the more electric players when on it. On a short week, he could be in the XI Tuesday to face his former side.
