He should return to the lineup for the clash at Brentford on Nov, 30, and Boubakary Soumare could be an option to take his place in midfield during his one-game absence.

Loaned to Leicester Buonanotte has been loaned to Leicester City from Brighton, his new club announced.

Impact Buonanotte will remain in the Premier League but not with his parent club this season, having joined the Foxes on a season-long loan. He saw decent time on the pitch last campaign, starting in 17 of his 27 appearances while notching three goals and one assist. The attacker will more than likely serve in anywhere from a rotational to a starting role, as he does hold decent talent and can be a decent contributor down the flank if given space to work with.

AUGUST 10 • ROTOWIRE

Decent in first full season Buonanotte scored three goals and recorded one assist in 27 appearances (17 starts) this past season.

Impact Buonanotte scored four goals -- including one in the FA Cup -- this past season, a decent return for the 19-year-old.

Solid debut campaign Buonanotte scored one goal and recorded one assist on 11 shots and six chances created in 13 appearances (six starts) this past season.

Impact Bounanotte had a fairly productive first Premier League campaign, as he scored one goal and assisted another in his 13 appearances during the second half of the season.

Comes off after blow to face Buonanotte (face) took an arm to the face and was brought off during the second half of Thursday's clash with Manchester United.

Impact Buonanotte took an arm from Diogo Dalot and had to be brought off during Thursday's match. The injury didn't appear to be overly serious but as with any blow to the head there is a possible concern around a concussion. Buonanotte's first chance to return would be a Monday clash with Everton, though even if deemed fully fit he could still be on the bench as he has been more often than not.

Starts, scores first EPL goal Buonanotte scored a goal off his lone shot, created two chances and drew two fouls during Wednesday's 3-1 loss against Nottingham Forest.

Impact Buonanotte made his first start since joining Brighton in February and made most of the extended playing time. In the 38th minute, the wonderkid stepped into the box to pick up a rebound from the goalkeeper and score his first career EPL goal. He'll probably return to the bench for Saturday's clash against Wolverhampton but this performance will give him hope of getting more minutes moving forward.

APRIL 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Will start Wednesday Buonanotte will start Wednesday's match against Nottingham Forest, according to manager Robert De Zerbi.

Impact It looks like De Zerbi will mix things up Wednesday on a short week, at least at one position. Buonanotte, at 18 years old, has played just 54 minutes in league play since joining the club in January. In a start back in February in the FA Cup, he had two shots in 69 minutes against Stoke City. It's assumed he'll take that central attacking midfield role where Julio Enciso started in Sunday's FA Cup semi-final, though it's possible he could play on either wing, something that can't be predicted ahead of match time.

APRIL 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Assists as substitute Buonanotte assisted one goal from two chances created and took one off-target shot in 15 minutes during Saturday's 4-0 win over West Ham.

Plays 69 minutes in cup Buonanotte played 69 minutes during Tuesday's FA Cup clash with Stoke.

Impact Buonanotte has made just two Premier League appearances since joining Brighton. The midfielder has only been an option off the bench and doesn't seem any closer to breaking into the first team. Still Buonanotte getting any sort of playing time is encouraging for a potentially larger role in the future.
