Leeds United’s next opponents Brighton have suffered an injury blow to a star man but boss Roberto De Zerbi insists the issue is only “small”.
Premier League highfliers Brighton stormed to a 4-0 success against Saturday’s relegation-battling visitors West Ham United but right back Tariq Lamptey was forced off injured in the 16th minute at which point the score was goalless. De Zerbi, though, has provided a positive update on the 22-year-old’s condition ahead of next weekend’s clash against Leeds at Elland Road. Speaking post-match, De Zerbi said the issue was ‘not a big problem’, adding: “It’s a small injury.”
Adam Lallana (hamstring) and Jakub Moder (ACL) are currently out injured for Brighton who are set to give minutes to Levi Colwill for the club’s under-21s today on his comeback from a quad problem.
