JAMES MILNER NEWS

Active in Europa League Milner came off the bench during Thursday's 1-0 win over AEK Athens.

Impact Milner was out for the first match back from the international break but returned in Europa League action. He was only deemed fit enough for 13 minutes off the bench but the defender is still a good depth addition to the squad. With the laundry list of injuries elsewhere Milner could be called upon in a variety of roles.

Remains out Milner (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's trip to Nottingham Forest, according to manager Roberto De Zerbi. "Mitoma and Milner can't play, they are not available. We will have to...

Impact Milner is not available for Saturday's clash, and there was no timeline for when he will be ready. It's doubly concerning since Milner offers depth up and down the starting XI heading into the busiest portion of the season. Milner will hope to return quickly, but there's been no stronger updates on what the injury is outside of being a muscular issue.

Out against Sheffield Milner (undisclosed) won't be available for Sunday's match against Sheffield United, according to the club.

Impact Milner won't be an option on Sunday after going down with an injury against Ajax just a couple of minutes into the match. This injury wouldn't usually affect the team sheet too much for Birhgton, but with most of their defensive players out injured, it will cause a little chaos in the backline. Expect the likes of Pascal Gross or Billy Gilmour to play out of position on the flanks of the defense in place of the injured Milner.

Forced off with muscular issue Milner pulled up limping and came off during the first half of Thursday's clash with Ajax.

Impact Milner was forced off from his starting role, it's particularly bad luck as Pervis Estupinan (strain) is on the bench but wasn't ready for a full 90. Since Estupinan wasn't an option to play 80 or more minutes Billy Gilmour is the short-term replacement, though Estupinan could take his role back as soon as the second half.

Starting as full-back Milner (strain) is in the starting lineup for Saturday's clash against Manchester City,

Impact Milner is in the starting lineup for this one but will do it in a different position, as the veteran midfielder will be forced to handle the right side of the defense due to the lack of defensive options available.

Fit and available Milner (strain) is good to go for Saturday's trip to Manchester City, according to manager Roberto De Zerbi. "James Milner is available play, to start the game,"

Impact Miner is fit and available for Saturday's trip. He was reportedly close to getting on the pitch before the international break but it appears he was able to fully heal during the break and is now an option for the first team. Milner could even be called upon to deputize at left-back with Tariq Lamptey (undisclosed) ruled out.

Out against former club Milner is not in the match day squad to face Liverpool on Sunday.

Impact Milner misses out on his third straight match in all competitions as he continues to recover from a muscle strain. Milner will have just under two weeks to recover before Brighton's next match.

OCTOBER 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Doubt against Liverpool Milner (strain) is a doubt for Sunday's clash with Liverpool, according to manager Roberto De Zerbi. "I don't know if we can play with James Milner."

Impact Milner will be facing a late fitness test to get back on the pitch for Sunday's clash. With Tariq Lamptey an option to be rested it's possible that Milner could even be handed the start if he can pass the late tests in front of him.

Still sidelined Thursday Milner (strain) will not be in the squad versus Marseille on Thursday.

Impact With the short week, it's hard to see Milner returning in time to face Liverpool on Sunday either and he likely will be out through the international break. Prior to his two-match absence, the right-back started four of his six appearances for the club, including the previous UEL clash with AEK. Joel Veltman figures to continue filling the right-back role with Milner out of action.

OCTOBER 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Milner (strain) is out for Saturday's trip to Aston Villa, according to manager Roberto De Zerbi. "James Milner doesn't play tomorrow."

Impact Milner won't return for Saturday's clash with Aston Villa with the same muscle injury he suffered in the Europa League. There's no definite timeline for the veteran midfielder's return, though his first chance to get back on the pitch is presumably a Thursday clash with Marseille in the Europa League.

Confirmed as out Milner is not in the match day squad to face Bournemouth on Sunday.

Impact Milner misses out on Sunday's match after suffering a muscle injury Thursday in the Europa League. Milner hadn't started in either of Brighton's previous two Premier League matches as the veteran will hope to return for next week's clash against Aston Villa.

SEPTEMBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Picks up injury midweek Milner picked up an injury Thursday and is unlikely for Sunday's match against Bournemouth, according to manager Roberto De Zerbi.

Impact Milner seems like a doubt for Sunday, as he's yet to be checked following Thursday's match. He's started three of the first six league matches and it seemed like he was set to feature regularly in UEL play, but an injury could derail those plans. Joel Veltman could be set for more time if Milner has to miss any.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Starts strong with new club Milner has started three of Brighton's first four contests, registering five clearances, seven crosses (zero on target) and six tackles (five won).

Impact Milner has played in 623 Premier League contests over the course of his storied career but has just begun his stint with Brighton. After starting the first three matches, Milner found himself watching from the sidelines versus Newcastle United on Saturday in favor of Joel Veltman. Barring a drastic shift coming out of the international break, Milner should be back in the starting XI versus Manchester United on Sept. 16.

Signs with Brighton Milner has signed a one-year deal with Brighton and will join the club following the end of his Liverpool contract.

Impact This deal for Milner had been assumed for some time, as he'll likely close out his career at Brighton. He appeared in 31 league matches for Liverpool this past season, yet that culminated in just 892 minutes. He'll serve as veteran leadership for the Seagulls, as they enter new waters, likely playing the same kind of role he had at Liverpool the last few years.

Won't be re-signed Milner's contract will be allowed to expire after the season, the club announced Wednesday.

Impact Milner has started just twice in his last 18 appearances for the club, including logging a combined 57 minutes over the last seven matches. As such, it shouldn't come as a surprise to see the club opting to let him depart. The 37-year-old has played in 330 matches for Liverpool and has never played outside of England, something that could change this summer.
