Before Saturday’s Premier League match against Roberto De Zerbi has updated his team’s injury report for Brighton & Hove Albion.
Adam Lallana, a midfielder for Brighton, won’t be available when they play Aston Villa this weekend.
The 35-year-old Albion midfielder came in for the final 12 minutes of Wednesday night’s 1-0 Carabao Cup loss to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge to make his sixth appearance of the year.
But because of a minor injury, Lallana will now be sidelined for Saturday’s trip to Villa Park to face Unai Emery’s hot Villains along with Pascal Gross and James Milner.
The good news for Albion supporters is that teenage striker Evan Ferguson is doing well in practice and may return to the lineup after missing the midweek trip to west London.
Ferguson has four goals in his six Premier League appearances already this season and has mainly shared responsibility up front with Danny Welbeck and Joao Pedro. Speaking at Brighton’s pre-match press conference on Friday about his team news, Roberto De Zerbi said: “Pascal [Gross] is not available, he might be able to play in the Europa League [on Thursday]. James Milner doesn’t play tomorrow. Evan Ferguson is good, he worked yesterday very well. Adam Lallana can’t play, it’s not a big injury though.
