Yves Bissouma - Ready to return against Norwich Bissouma (knee) is slated to rejoin the match-day squad versus Norwich City on Saturday. Manager Graham Potter told reporters, "Enock Mwepu (groin), Adam Webster (hamstring) and Y...
Impact Bissouma is poised to return following his two-game stint on the sidelines due to his knee problem. Slotted into a midfielder role, Bissouma has recorded just three shots (zero on target) but has racked up plenty of tackles (16), interceptions (12) and clearances (five).
OCTOBER 14, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Adam Webster - Set to return Saturday Webster (hamstring) has resumed training and is in contention against Norwich City on Saturday. Manager Graham Potter told reporters, "Enock Mwepu (hamstring), Adam Webster and Yve...
Impact Webster made four straight starts in central defense before suffering his hamstring injury, so fantasy players should be expecting him to rejoin the backline versus Norwich if given the all-clear. In those four contests, Webster registered four crosses (one accurate), 11 tackles (five won) and six interceptions. Given his limited offensive upside, Webster is unlikely to offer more than mid-range fantasy value except in formats that value defensive stats.

Enock Mwepu - In contention Saturday Mwepu (groin) is expected to be ready for Saturday's clash with Norwich City after manager Graham Potter told reporters, "Enock Mwepu, Adam Webster (hamstring) and Yves Bissouma (k...
Impact Given Mwepu has made just one appearance in the starting XI this year, he likely will have to settle for a spot on the bench if cleared to play against Norwich. When he has gotten onto the pitch, the midfielder has generated just one shot (off target), two crosses (zero accurate) and three tackles (two won).

Steven Alzate - Facing extended absence Alzate's ankle surgery was confirmed by the team Thursday and he should be considered out indefinitely at this point. Manager Graham Potter told reporters, "Both Danny Welbeck (ham...
Impact Considering Alzate has made just two appearances for the club this season, his absence is unlikely to significantly impact the club's starting XI. Once cleared the play, the midfielder should return to serving primarily as a substitute option off the bench.
OCTOBER 14, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Danny Welbeck - Headed for surgery Welbeck will need to undergo surgery to repair his damaged hamstring and should be considered out indefinitely. Manager Graham Potter told reporters, "Both Danny Welbeck and Steven...
Impact While the team didn't provide a specific timeline for Welbeck's recovery, fantasy players should probably expect the forward to be sidelined for at least three months. Prior to getting hurt, Welbeck made three straight appearances in the starting XI and should return to being a regular starter once given the all-clear.

Steven Alzate - Undergoes surgery over break Alzate underwent ankle surgery over the international break, reports Juliana Salazar Meza of Caracol Radio.
Impact This report comes from a local Colombian journalist, which isn't surprising, as Premier League teams often wait to reveal these things. Alzate injured his ankle just before the break and will likely miss a few weeks following this surgery.
OCTOBER 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Aaron Connolly - Struggling for minutes Connolly is healthy, but he's played just 14 minutes the last three matches.
Impact Connolly dealt with a nagging muscle injury in the early season, but now that he's healthy, he's still struggling for time even with Danny Welbeck out. At this point, he seems like the fourth or fifth forward option and unless something changes, it's hard to see him cracking the starting XI.

Yves Bissouma - Expected back after break Bissouma (knee) is hopeful to recover over the break and be an option for the trip to Norwich in two weeks, according to manager Graham Potter.
Impact Bissouma has missed the last two league matches, but a couple weeks of training and rest should help him get back to full strength. Brighton have drawn both matches without Bissouma in the midfield after recording back-to-back wins against Leicester and Brentford.

Arsenal's winning run in EPL ends with 0-0 draw at Brighton
Arsenal’s resurgent winning run in the Premier League ended with a 0-0 draw at BrightonOCTOBER 2, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Robert Sanchez - Two saves in draw Sanchez made two saves during Saturday's goalless draw with Arsenal.
Impact Sanchez wasn't overly tested by a toothless Arsenal attack, though he did well to make the two saves he did. The keeper is up to three clean sheets from seven starts, and is in good form heading into the international break.
OCTOBER 2, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Pascal Gross - Held quiet in draw Gross sent in nine crosses (three accurate), creating three chances during Saturday's 0-0 draw with Arsenal.
Impact Gross had plenty of chances to break the deadlock, but was let down by the finishing in front of him. The midfielder is the main creative threat in the Brighton midfield, and has an absolutely perfect bounce-back spot against Norwich after the international break.
OCTOBER 2, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Marc Cucurella - Busy vs. Arsenal Cucurella created four chances and sent in seven crosses (two accurate) during Saturday's goalless draw with Arsenal.
Impact Cucurella led the way in chances created and made the most of his duty on set-pieces sending in a plethora of dangerous crosses. The wide-midfielder also added plenty of defensive volume to continue his good form. He has a great match against Norwich after the international break.
OCTOBER 2, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Leandro Trossard - Busy in draw Trossard shot six times (once on goal), creating three chances during Saturday's 0-0 draw with Arsenal.
Impact Trossard's six shots were enough to see him top the team, and create plenty of problems going forward. The forward has been excellent this season and has an absolute smash spot against Norwich after the international break.
OCTOBER 2, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Neal Maupay - Four shots in draw Maupay shot four times off target during Saturday's scoreless draw with Arsenal.
Impact Maupay shot four times, but failed to test Aaron Ramsdale even once during Saturday's clash. This is only his second poor performance of the season and there's no reason he can't bounce back after the international break.

Kjell Scherpen - Getting time with U23s Scherpen has started the last couple matches with the U23s, returning from his early-season ankle injury.
Impact Scherpen is getting starts with the U23s, which means he's the No. 3 goalkeeper for Brighton. The youngster was thought to see more bench time in league play, but instead he'll get minutes with the U23s, allowing Jason Steele to see bench time with the senior squad.
OCTOBER 1, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Enock Mwepu - Out until after break Mwepu (groin) is not an option for Saturday's match against Arsenal.
Impact Mwepu tweaked his groin a week ago and it'll keep him out of Brighton's two matches before the break. The hope is that he can recover over the break, but even then, he doesn't have a spot in the starting XI when the other central midfielders are healthy.
SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Steven Alzate - Out ahead of break Alzate (ankle) will miss Saturday's match against Arsenal, according to manager Graham Potter.
Impact This isn't much of a surprise for Alzate, who injured his ankle last weekend. There's a chance this is a high-ankle sprain that will keep him out a few more weeks, but more information will hopefully be made known over the international break.
SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Danny Welbeck - Seeing specialist for injury Welbeck is "seeing a specialist" for his hamstring injury and will likely miss Saturday's match against Arsenal, according to manager Graham Potter.
Impact Welbeck has dealt with constant muscle injuries the last few years and there's no reason to think he'll return a week after tweaking this one. The hope is that it doesn't keep him out past the international break. Alexis Mac Allister is an option to enter the XI again.
SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Yves Bissouma - Late test for Arsenal Bissouma (knee) is "making progress" and will be a late test for Saturday's match against Arsenal, according to manager Graham Potter.
Impact It's hard to see Bissouma playing Saturday, given that there's about 48 hours until the match and Potter said that a decision will be made "later in the week." If he's still dealing with the issue, it makes sense for him to wait until the break, allowing Pascal Gross to start centrally again.
