The most recent team updates and commentary for Brighton & Hove Albion as well as the Premier League
Roberto De Zerbi, the manager of Brighton, feels that his team’s injury list is costing them points in the European race. Important players Joao Pedro and Kaoru Mitoma were not present as the Seagulls fought their way to a 1-1 draw against Everton at home.
De Zerbi is unsure if back injury suffered by winger Mitoma will prevent him from playing against Wolves on Wednesday in the FA Cup.
“We are playing too often without injured players, and that maybe explains a lot of draws for us,” he added. “I don’t love making excuses.” Without Mitoma, we have an issue. “Having all of the players available to play is all I could ask for. Brighton finds it challenging to play with so few players since we don’t have 25 players at the same level.
We will be prepared and aim to win even if Mitoma is unable to play on Wednesday. The same at Roma in the Europa League and then Fulham.
Billy Gilmour, a Scotland midfielder, was shown a straight red card by Albion during their match against Everton. As a result, he will miss the Wolves match as well as the next two Premier League games—at home against Nottingham Forest and away to Fulham.
Five minutes into stoppage time, captain Lewis Dunk, making his 400th league appearance for the team, headed an equaliser to give them a point back after falling down to a goal from Jarrad Branthwaite.
