Unused substitute Sunday Alzate (illness) was named to the match-day squad versus Southampton on Sunday but failed to get onto the pitch.
Impact Alzate has been an unused substitute in each of his last four inclusions in the squad, so the fact he was unable to get onto the pitch Sunday shouldn't come as a surprise. At this point, the midfielder will likely be hard-pressed to see any significant minutes down the stretch, making him a relative non-factor in fantasy contests.

Out with illness Alzate will miss Saturday's match against Tottenham because of an illness, confirmed manager Graham Potter.
Impact Alzate received a couple starts last month, but he stayed on the bench in the prior three contests. He's been seldom used this season, unsurprisingly, and it's hard to see that role changing in the future given the other options they added earlier this season.

In squad for Boxing Day Alzate (ankle) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Brentford.
Impact Alzate is back in the team for the second-straight match, recovering from an ankle injury that has kept him out the majority of the season. He'll hope to find some playing time, but he didn't play much early in the season outside of starting in the opener.

Edging closer to return Alzate (ankle) is getting closer and closer to a return, according to manager Graham Potter.
Impact Alzate has been training on the side, which is good, but he is still a couple weeks away from training with the team. He's been out since September and will have to work on his fitness once he's 100 percent removed from his ankle injury.

Returns to training Alzate (ankle) returned to training with Brighton on Tuesday.
Impact Alzate hasn't featured since suffering an ankle injury against Crystal Palace on Sept. 27. There still is no timetable for his return, but the fact that he's training means he is getting closer.

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.

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.

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.

Unlikely for Arsenal match Alzate rolled his ankle Monday and is unlikely for Saturday's match against Arsenal, according to manager Graham Potter. "He rolled his ankle and somebody also landed on it. We wil...
Impact Alzate is already a bench option, so this shouldn't change much for Brighton. As long as it's not a high-ankle sprain, he should be back in training over the break and be an option for the Sept. 16 trip to Norwich.

Exits injured Monday Alzate subbed on in the second half of Monday's match against Crystal Palace and then was forced off in 20 minutes with a lower leg issue.
Impact Alzate came on for Dan Burn to start the second half and then he picked up a knock and couldn't continue. It's unfortunate, mainly because these were his first league minutes since the opener when he went 72 minutes. With Tariq Lamptey gaining fitness, Alzate's minutes are waning by the day.
SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Benched for past two games Alzate has made one start through Brighton's opening three matches of the season.
Impact Alzate started Brighton's opening match of the season at Burnley, registering 72 minutes on the pitch. The midfielder will likely continue in a back up role throughout the year and doesn't offer much fantasy appeal.
SEPTEMBER 2, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Gets more time in final matches Alzate started two of the final three matches, producing two shots and a chance created.
Impact Alzate got more time in the final few matches because of injuries, but that didn't mean much for fantasy. He started the first four matches of the season, but his role quickly disappeared and he finished with just 10 for the season (15 appearances). At this point, he's a bench option at best for Brighton.

Signs new Brighton contract Alzate signed a new contract with Brighton that will keep him at the club until June 2024.
Impact Alzate ended the season injured, but Brighton apparently saw enough from him in 19 appearances even though he didn't make the score-sheet. He'll hope to recover quickly and be ready for the upcoming season.
