Leeds United are gearing up for another challenging match as they prepare to face Brighton on their home turf. However, manager Fabian Hurzeler may have to contend with the absence of up to six key players for the game.
Despite the tough competition that Brighton presents, Leeds have the advantage of an extra day of rest and are coming off a victory against West Ham in their previous outing. On the other hand, Brighton suffered a defeat in their last match against Manchester United, with several key players missing from the squad.
Brighton’s injury concerns are significant, with three players confirmed to be unavailable for the upcoming match. Solly March, Adam Webster, and Jack Hinshelwood are all sidelined with long-term injuries. Additionally, Kaoru Mitoma, Joel Veltman, and Brajan Gruda are doubtful for the game due to various issues.
In contrast, Leeds have fewer injury worries ahead of the Brighton clash. While Willy Gnonto, Gabriel Gudmundsson, and Noah Okafor are nursing minor injuries, the rest of the squad is in good shape. Dan James is making progress in his recovery from an ankle problem, and Lucas Perri and Ethan Ampadu are fit to play.
As both teams prepare to face off, it remains to be seen how the absence of key players will impact the outcome of the match. Leeds will be hoping to overcome their injury concerns and secure a positive result against Brighton.
