Neal Maupay - Nets yet again Maupay scored once on two shots (one on goal) during Sunday's 2-1 win over Leicester City.

Impact Maupay was a huge part of Sunday's upset scoring his third goal in five matches. The forward is off to a brilliant start and looks lethal in front of goal, he has a favorable trip to Crystal Palace on Monday to try and build on this form.

Tariq Lamptey - Makes bench Sunday Lamptey (hamstring) was on the bench for Sunday's win against Leicester City.

Impact It's a great sign for Lamptey, as he inches closer to full fitness. His return will likely be gradual, meaning multiple bench appearances are possible before he's given a start, mainly because he's been out almost a year with this hamstring injury.

Yves Bissouma - Plays through hyperextension Bissouma had a shot with four tackles and three interceptions before being subbed off in the 79th minute of Sunday's match against Leicester City because of a knee issue.

Impact Bissouma originally played through the knee hyperextension and then he was eventually subbed off Sunday. This doesn't seem like something that will keep him out of the squad, but he should be monitored. He hasn't show a ton of attacking value this season, but he remains a rock in Brighton's midfield.

Tariq Lamptey - Edging closer to return Lamptey (hamstring) is "looking better and better each day," according to manager Graham Potter. "He's still on target to be involved in the Carabao Cup next week."

Impact Lamptey played 20 minutes in a friendly more than a week ago, so it's at least good that he hasn't suffered a recurrence. Brighton are taking their time with him given the length of his absence and there's no guarantee he'll be an option before the international break.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Enock Mwepu - Available against Leicester Mwepu (undisclosed) is available for Sunday's match against Leicester, according to manager Graham Potter.

Impact Mwepu missed last weekend's match for an unknown reason, but it looks like he's ready to fight for time again. Unfortunately, he hasn't had a great start to his Brighton tenure, as he was pulled at the half in the opener and has played just 18 minutes since.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Adam Webster - Out until after break Webster won't be an option until after the international break, according to manager Graham Potter. "Adam [Webster] will probably be back the other side of the international break...

Impact Webster is a blow to the back line with two or three absences likely for now. There's a chance Joel Veltman starts in the back three or Dan Burn could get the call having just returned from his injury. As with any hamstring injury, it's a gradual process, but the initial diagnosis is a month-long absence.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Dan Burn - Available against Leicester Burn (knee) is "back in contention and will be in the squad" for Sunday's match against Leicester, according to manager Graham Potter.

Impact Burn has missed the last two months because of a knee ligament injury, but it looks like he's healthy again. It's hard to see him starting in his first match, but with Adam Webster out, there's a chance Burn gets the call on the back line in a tough spot against Jamie Vardy and company.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Pascal Gross - Out again Sunday Gross (COVID-19) will miss Sunday's match against Leicester City, according to manager Graham Potter.

Impact Gross will again remain out Sunday after apparently testing positive for COVID-19 last week. Brighton were fine without him against Brentford, mainly because Danny Welbeck was healthy enough to start again and he allowed them to have two forwards.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Lewis Dunk - Keeps clean sheet in win Dunk made four clearances and two interceptions in Saturday's 1-0 victory against Brentford.

Impact Dunk defended well against Brentford as he kept his second clean sheet of the season on Saturday. He will face a tougher test next weekend against Leicester, which have scored four goals in as many Premier League matches.

SEPTEMBER 11, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Danny Welbeck - Takes shot in win Welbeck took a shot on target and made a clearance in Saturday's 1-0 victory against Brentford.

Impact Welbeck made his first start of the season on Saturday, but he was largely ineffective against Brentford and was subbed out just after the hour mark. He missed about a month with a hamstring injury so he should increase his productivity as he regains full fitness.

SEPTEMBER 11, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Marc Cucurella - Creates chance in win Cucurella played 82 minutes and created a chance in Saturday's 1-0 victory against Brentford.

Impact Cucurella made his first appearance for Brighton on Saturday, starting in left midfield against Brentford. The 23-year-old should be a regular in the XI moving forward.

SEPTEMBER 11, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Robert Sanchez - Keeps clean sheet against Brentford Sanchez made a save and kept a clean sheet in Saturday's 1-0 victory against Brentford.

Impact Sanchez kept his second clean sheet of the season on Saturday, as a late Leandro Trossard strike clinched a victory for his side. Next weekend he will face Leicester, which have scored four goals in as many Premier League matches.

SEPTEMBER 11, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Alexis MacAllister - Records assist against Brentford Mac Allister took a shot and assisted a goal in Saturday's 1-0 victory against Brentford. He also won two of two tackles in the match.

Impact Mac Allister set up Leandro Trossard's game-winner on Saturday, as the Belgian international slotted a curling shot into the net in the 90th minute to break the deadlock. Next weekend he will face Leicester, which are ninth place after four Premier League matches this season.

SEPTEMBER 11, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Leandro Trossard - Scores goal against Brentford Trossard scored a goal and created two chances in Saturday's 1-0 victory against Brentford. He also won three of four tackles in the match.

Impact Trossard scored a last-minute winner with a curling shot past Brentfor goalkeeper David Raya on Saturday, his first goal of the season. He will want to be similarly effective next weekend against Leicester, which have conceded six times in four Premier League matches.

Adam Webster - Exits injured Saturday Webster was forced off in the 37th minute of Saturday's match against Brentford with an injury.

Impact The hope is that it's not a major injury for Webster, but leaving in the first half is never a good sign. He was replaced by Jakub Moder on Saturday, who then moved out wide, forcing Joel Veltman to move to a central role.

SEPTEMBER 11, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Pascal Gross - Will not play Saturday Gross is not in the squad for Saturday's match against Brentford.

Impact No specific reason was disclosed for Gross' absence, though manager Graham Potter said before the match that multiple players were self-isolating. Joel Veltman will start as Brighton's right wing-back on Saturday, with Adam Lallana in central midfield alongside Yves Bissouma and behind Leandro Trossard.

SEPTEMBER 11, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Aaron Connolly - Hopeful for Saturday Connolly (glute) is hopeful to make the bench Saturday against Brentford, according to manager Graham Potter.

Impact Connolly didn't play in Brighton's last match and then suffered a muscle problem over the break with the national team. Even if healthy, he's a bench option behind Neal Maupay and the return of Danny Welbeck doesn't help his playing time, either.

SEPTEMBER 9, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Solly March - Available against Brentford March (hamstring) is available for Saturday's trip to Brentford, according to manager Graham Potter.

Impact This is a good sign for March, though it's unclear if he'll be ready to start. He went the full 90 in both of the opening contests and then in his absence, Brighton made some changes and lost 2-0 to Everton. If he's ready to start, he'd likely take the spot of Jakub Moder in the XI Saturday.

SEPTEMBER 9, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Jurgen Locadia - Back with Brighton Locadia has begun training with the senior team again after the completion of his loan at Cincinnati.

Impact Locadia reportedly returned from his loan at the end of June, but it looks like he only just started training with the team. It's hard to see him holding much of a role for Brighton given that he managed just three goals in 27 appearances for FC Cincinnati.

SEPTEMBER 8, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Tariq Lamptey - Stepping up recovery Lamptey (hamstring) played 20 minutes in an intrasquad friendly Tuesday and could be involved before the end of the month, according to manager Graham Potter.

Impact Lamptey still only managed 20 minutes in a friendly, so he still has some ways to go before he's ready to compete in the Premier League. It appears his first appearance will come in a Cup match and then he'll slowly work up his fitness so he's ready for a league match, something that may not happen until October.
