All the latest team and injury news as Brighton players jet off for the international break

Brighton will hope Yankuba Minteh will return from the international break fit and firing.

Minteh made his first Premier League appearance of the season as he came on for the last 10 minutes of Brighton's 2-0 win against Brentford at the Amex Stadium on Sunday.

The Gambian injured his leg in pre-season against Roma and missed the first eight top flight matches of the campaign. He was an unused substitute in the 1-0 win at Manchester City but finally gained minutes against Keith Andrews' Brentford.

Minteh, 22, will now jet off with Gambia as they take on the Ivory Coast in an African Cup of Nations qualifier on Thursday November 12.

Johnathan McKinstry's Gambian team then face the Ivory Coast once again as they welcome them to Bakau on November 17.

Minteh needs to be on the pitch

Brighton head coach Fabian Hurzeler, speaking after the 2-0 win at Brentford, wants Minteh to "get back on the pitch."

"We have a few different players who have different journeys now in their international duties," said Hurzeler.

"Some players have time to rest, some players will train, and we try to lift their standards and their energy and their body, their condition in their body.

"And then there are some players who will go away with their international teams. And players like Minteh, of course, they need to get back on the pitch.

"And I want to wish every player who's having international games all the best, and I know it's a big honour to play for their country, so hopefully everyone does well."

Hull are next for Brighton

Brighton resume their Premier League campaign after the international break at Hull City on November 22.

Hurzeler is hopeful his high-flying Brighton side will be further boosted by the return of long-term absentees Kaoru Mitoma and Stefanos Tzimas after the international break.

Winger Mitoma has been sidelined since suffering a hamstring injury in May, while forward Tzimas tore his ACL in December last year.

On Mitoma, Hurzeler said: “There’s big hope and big belief that this will be the case but it might be that we need one or two weeks longer, so I can’t say this is the game he will be back.

“We give him the time he needs and we know that if he’s back on his highest level he will be very important for us.”
