Wins six tackles versus Everton Bissouma had two shots (off target), two dribbles, three aerials won, seven tackles (six won) and two interceptions in Sunday's 3-2 win over Everton.

Impact Bissouma delivered an outstanding all around performance with impressive numbers in multiple categories on both sides of the ball. The holding midfielder has merely one assist with no goals all season but he certainly brings a solid production in formats with peripheral stats. He's made seven tackles in back to back matches and three times in last seven affairs.

Picks up fifth yellow card Bissouma conceded his fifth yellow card during Wednesday's 1-0 loss to Wolves and as a result will be suspended for Saturday's trip to Manchester United.

Impact Bissouma has earned plenty of plaudits for his defensive play but his 20 tackles made in the last seven matches have also been accompanied by four yellow cards. Enock Mwepu and Jakub Moder are two options to fill Bissouma's spot in defensive midfield during his absence.

With 12 tackles (10 won) over his last two starts, Bissouma will try to help his side getting back on track during next Saturday's home match against Leeds.

Impact Bissouma is poised to return following his two-game stint on the sidelines due to his knee problem. Slotted into a midfielder role, Bissouma has recorded just three shots (zero on target) but has racked up plenty of tackles (16), interceptions (12) and clearances (five).

Expected back after break Bissouma (knee) is hopeful to recover over the break and be an option for the trip to Norwich in two weeks, according to manager Graham Potter.

Impact Bissouma has missed the last two league matches, but a couple weeks of training and rest should help him get back to full strength. Brighton have drawn both matches without Bissouma in the midfield after recording back-to-back wins against Leicester and Brentford.

Late test for Arsenal Bissouma (knee) is "making progress" and will be a late test for Saturday's match against Arsenal, according to manager Graham Potter.

Impact It's hard to see Bissouma playing Saturday, given that there's about 48 hours until the match and Potter said that a decision will be made "later in the week." If he's still dealing with the issue, it makes sense for him to wait until the break, allowing Pascal Gross to start centrally again.

Out against Palace Bissouma (knee) is not in the squad for Monday's match against Crystal Palace.

Impact Bissouma misses out Monday after injuring his knee last match. While the issue isn't serious, it's forced him out at least one match, somewhat changing the dynamic of Brighton's midfield. Fortunately, Pascal Gross is available again and in the starting XI.

Could be late test for Monday Bissouma (knee) is hopeful to train on Saturday ahead of Monday's trip to Crystal Palace, according to manager Graham Potter.

Impact It looks like Bissouma is in a race to be fit for Monday's match and if he doesn't train Saturday, he could miss the game. Fortunately for Brighton, Pascal Gross is available again and he could slot into that central midfield role, especially since Enock Mwepu also has an issue of his own.

Hopeful to train by end of week Bissouma (knee) is hopeful to train by the end of the week and be an option for Monday's trip to Crystal Palace, according to manager Graham Potter.

Impact Bissouma hyperextended his knee over the weekend and will get a couple days of rest before taking the pitch again. As there's no structural damage, he should be good for Monday, but nothing is guaranteed at this point, only that he'll be rested for the midweek Cup match.

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.

Starts 35 matches Bissouma was a rock in Brighton's midfield this season, racking up 104 tackles and 64 interceptions in 35 starts.

Impact Bissouma got forward a bit more later in the season which led to 42 shots, but he still played in a defensive role with limited upside. He looks to have this role down in Brighton's midfield after starting a combined 32 matches the prior two seasons.
