Back with Brighton Sarmiento will return to Brighton following the end of his Ipswich Town loan.
Impact Sarmiento had an iffy campaign, starting at West Brom and finishing at Ipswich Town where he combined for 40 league appearances and 12 starts. It's hard to see him remaining at Brighton for the coming season given that he couldn't carve out starting roles in the Championship, though it's always a possibility.

Recalled from loan Sarmiento was recalled from his loan to West Brom, Brighton announced.
Impact Sarmiento's loan to West Brom was cut short after he was recalled. With Kaoru Mitoma heading off to the Asian Cup there could actually be some minutes for Sarmiento in the first team, especially in cup competitions.

Missing from preseason Sarmiento (foot) will not take part in the club's preseason tour in the United States, Andy Naylor of The Athletic reports.
Impact Sarmiento last got onto the pitch for Brighton back on March 15 against Crystal Palace. Even when healthy, the midfielder made just one appearance in the starting XI and figures to remain primarily a reserve option this season even once given the all-clear.

Inks new Brighton contract Sarmiento signed a new contract with Brighton, keeping him there until 2027 with an option for an extra year.
Impact Sarmiento added a year to his initial contract which was signed January 2022 despite rarely featuring for the first team. He ended this past season with a foot injury and still doesn't have a set return date, but the club clearly likes what he's done in the past year and a half. No matter, he seems fairly deep on the depth chart given late-season performances by Julio Enciso and Deniz Undav, in addition to other summer signings.

Makes just one start Sarmiento (foot) played in nine matches for Brighton this season, making one start and registering one assist, five shots (two on target) and three crosses (two accurate).
Impact While his foot injury was certainly a factor, Sarmiento served primarily as a bench option even when he was healthy, including being an unused substitute 11 times. As such, even if cleared to play, the midfielder may be hard-pressed to play regular minutes for the club heading into next season.

Set to miss at least six weeks Sarmiento will be sidelined for 6-8 weeks after suffering an undisclosed injury with Ecuador. Manager Roberto De Zerbi told reporters, "Jeremy will be out for a month and a half, t...
Impact Considering Sarmiento has started just once in nine appearances for Brighton this season, his absence is unlikely to impact the starting XI. At this point, given his timeline, the midfielder may be done for the season, though he hasn't been officially ruled out. Even once cleared to return, Sarmiento shouldn't be expected to offer much in the way of fantasy value given his inability to break into the starting XI.

Delivers winning goal assist Sarmiento delivered an assist and executed two shots (one on-target) in Saturday's 1-0 victory over Bournemouth.
Impact Sarmiento came on from the bench on Saturday after 55 for Danny Welbeck. He was brought on to inject energy into the Seagulls attack, and showed the difference he can make by delivering the cross that assisted Brighton's winning goal. The Ecuadorian is currently not a regular starter. From seven appearances (one start), this was his first assist.

Logs three minutes from bench Sarmiento played for three minutes off the bench during Saturday's 4-1 win over Chelsea.
Impact Sarmiento has made back-to-back appearances off the bench but has otherwise been out with a knee injury or not preferred to others available. With Facundo Buonanotte arriving in January, Sarmiento will need to work hard if he's not to fall even further behind on the depth chart in the long run.

Gets minutes with Ecuador Sarmiento (knee) played 45 minutes off the bench in Tuesday's match with Ecuador.
Impact Sarmiento appears to be healthy again and should be an option off the bench coming out of the break, at a minimum. He hasn't played because of injury this season and now he'll have to win over the new manager, but he figures to find more time than a season ago.
SEPTEMBER 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Dealing with knee issue Sarmiento continues to deal with a knee issue, according to manager Graham Potter.
Impact Sarmiento missed the win at West Ham over the weekend and he'll remain out for the midweek Cup match. He didn't appear in the first two contests and doesn't figure to see a ton of time this season after managing just 45 minutes in his debut campaign with Brighton.

Playing with national team Sarmiento (hamstring) closed the season with a hamstring injury but immediately featured for Ecuador in a recent friendly.
Impact Sarmiento will hope to get back his fitness and health over the summer, which could allow him to fight for minutes in Brighton's midfield. He played just 45 minutes for Brighton's senior team this past season, one of which was a start when he was forced off in the 13th minute. He doesn't figure to be a massive player next season, but he should get more than 45 minutes if he can stay healthy.

Picks up new hamstring problem Sarmiento picked up a minor hamstring problem and will miss Saturday's match against Wolves, according to manager Graham Potter.
Impact Sarmiento has played off the bench in three of the last five matches and has also featured for the U23s over the last month. Unfortunately, he has another hamstring issue, something that kept him out a few months earlier this season.

Back in squad Sarmiento (hamstring) is in the squad for Wednesday's match against Tottenham.
Impact Sarmiento is back in the squad Wednesday, his first since December because of hamstring surgery. He doesn't figure to have a major role the rest of the way, but he suffered his original injury in a start, so there's a chance he could get minutes down the stretch.
MARCH 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Signs new Brighton contract Sarmiento has signed a new contract with Brighton, keeping him at the club until June 2026.
Impact It's quite the deal for Sarmiento, who has clearly made a good impression in a short amount of time. He's made just two league appearances this season because he's been out following hamstring surgery. When healthy, he'll hope to find more time off the bench to close the season.

Undergoes surgery Sarmiento (hamstring) underwent surgery and will miss the club's next few games. Manager Graham Potter told reporters, "Jeremy Sarmiento has had surgery so he's not in the squad fo...
Impact Sarmiento has appeared in just two matches for the club this season in which he logged a combined 21 minutes. At this point, with the busy December schedule, the midfielder should probably be expected to miss at least the next three contests, though it could certainly be longer.
DECEMBER 14, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Starts, injures hamstring Sarmiento got the first start of his young career Wednesday and unfortunately it ended after 13 minutes with a likely hamstring injury.
Impact It's a tough blow for Sarmiento, who got the start midweek after playing a few minutes off the bench last match. If it's indeed a hamstring injury, it could keep him on the sidelines for an extended period, making it hard for him to get a second start.
DECEMBER 1, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Starting against West Ham Sarmiento is in the starting XI for Wednesday's match against West Ham.
Impact It's a surprise start for Sarmiento, who played eight minutes off the bench in the draw against Leeds. It's unclear how much time he'll be given considering he's barely played for Brighton in his short time with the team, but he should be headed for at least 60 minutes in what appears to be an attacking role.
