Blow to Brighton
Brighton & Hove Albion face a tough situation as star forward Ansu Fati and defender Tariq Lamptey are set to be sidelined for an extended period due to injuries picked up in their recent victory over Nottingham Forest.
Weekend Victory with a Price
Brighton secured a thrilling 3-2 win against Nottingham Forest over the weekend, breaking a six-game winless streak in the Premier League. However, the joy was marred by injuries to key players Fati and Lamptey, both going down in the first half.
Existing Injury Woes
Brighton already grapples with the absence of key players such as Kaoru Mitoma, Danny Welbeck, Solly March, and Julio Enciso. The addition of Fati and Lamptey to the injury list compounds the challenges for the team.
Europa League Challenge
Despite the setbacks, Brighton is gearing up for a Europa League clash against AEK Athens on Thursday. Currently second in Group B with seven points from four games, they aim to recover from their campaign opener loss to AEK.
Manager’s Perspective
Manager Roberto De Zerbi acknowledged the severity of the situation, stating, “We have lost them for a long time, I think.” However, he emphasized the need to focus on the fit players and the team’s determination to compete, even in the face of adversity.
