Injury Expert shares early Brighton team news v West Ham United
Brighton could be without eleven first-team players for their Premier League clash against West Ham United, according to Ben Dinnery.
The injury expert shared the data on his website and has listed the players who will not be available and are “ruled out”, for Sunday’s clash (2 January December) at the London Stadium.
The Seagulls will be without Ansu Fati, Julio Ensico, Lewis Dunk, Joey Veltman, Kaoru Mitoma, Simon Adingra, Adam Webster, Tariq Lamptey, and Solly March for Tuesday’s game.
Igor and Facundo Buonanotte are doubts after suffering knocks in their 4-2 win over Tottenham Hotspur with their return status at 25 per cent, according to Dinnery.
Boost
It was an ultimate smash-and-grab from West Ham United and David Moyes on Thursday that certainly stunned the Arsenal fans and Mikel Arteta himself.
The Gunners had all of the territory, possession and chances but simply could not convert which showed that luck and fortune were on West Ham’s side all night as Moyes finally ended his top-six Premier League away-day curse.
West Ham United now face the prospect of Brighton on Tuesday and would need another perfect performance if they’re to grab their fourth successive Premier League and will certainly be boosted by the number of injury issues Roberto de Zerbi’s men currently have.
However, the Hammers have problems of their own and will be without Lucas Paqueta for the game after his injury at the Emirates. Also, Mohammed Kudus will be out for the month because of the African Cup of Nations, which leaves Jarrod Bowen the only key cog available in attack.
Fringe players Said Benrahma, Pablo Fornals and Danny Ings have flattered to deceive all season long but will now be relied upon to deliver the goods for Moyes.
In other West Ham United news, the club has made a “100%” Moyes sack decision, with David Sullivan set to schedule a sit-down early next year.
