Brighton Receives Injury Boost with Key Player Returning for Liverpool Clash
Brighton & Hove Albion is set to receive a significant advantage with the return of key players for their upcoming Premier League match against Liverpool. Manager Fabian Hurzeler announced that four players are available for selection, including star winger Kaoru Mitoma, who has been sidelined due to an ankle injury.
Key Player Returns for Brighton
The match at Anfield holds particular importance for Brighton, not only due to its competitive nature but also because of Mitoma’s return. He was absent since September 27, following a victory over Chelsea, but has resumed training and is now considered fit for selection.
Additional Players Back
Along with Mitoma, Hurzeler confirmed that James Milner, Tommy Watson, and Yasin Ayari will also be rejoining the squad. Milner, a former Liverpool player, has been out since late October. This influx of returning players opens up options for the Brighton manager, which he noted brings a positive dilemma for the team.
- Kaoru Mitoma: Returned from ankle injury
- James Milner: Available after absence
- Tommy Watson: Now fit to play
- Yasin Ayari: Back in training
Injury Setbacks
However, not all news is optimistic for Brighton. Striker Stefanos Tzimas is facing a lengthy recovery after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury during a recent match against Aston Villa. Additionally, Solly March and Adam Webster remain unavailable as they continue to recover from their respective injuries.
Looking Ahead
As Brighton prepares for this crucial fixture against Liverpool, the return of key players like Mitoma is expected to enhance their performance. The team aims to leverage this injury boost to secure valuable points in the Premier League.
Fans will be keen to see how these changes affect Brighton’s strategy as they face a formidable opponent like Liverpool at Anfield. The match promises excitement, with Brighton aiming to capitalize on their returning talents.
