Leeds United welcome in-form Brighton to Elland Road on Saturday as Javi Gracia takes charge of his third Premier League match as manager – and the Seagulls could be without Tariq Lamptey, as well as playmaker Adam Lallana.

The Whites come into the game with their own injury issues. But, Gracia hinted that both Rodrigo and Luis Sinisterra could be available to play on Saturday afternoon. Here is the latest on Brighton’s injury issues, ahead of Saturday.

Brighton could be without Lamptey as well as Lallana against Leeds

Ruled out:

Adam Lallana – The England international is set to miss the rest of the season with a thigh injury, Brighton boss De Zerbi confirmed in February. He will definitely be missing on Saturday, lessening Brighton’s creative output in attack.

Jakub Moder – Poland star Moder is closing in on a return after suffering an ACL injury last season. But he remains on the sidelines and it is unlikely he will be seen until the latter stages of the season. He is yet to feature this term.

Doubts:

Tariq Lamptey – The £40m defender has suffered more than his fair share of injuries of late. Last time out, a 4-0 win over West Ham, he was subbed off on 16 minutes. De Zerbi said he could play, but a decision is yet to be made.

Levi Colwill – The ex-Chelsea centre-back played for the 21’s earlier this week and it is likely he will be involved after a spell on the sidelines. Whether or not he will start is another question. More likely to be on the bench for Brighton.

Returning players:

Solly March – The in-form 28-year-old lasted 76 minutes against West Ham but De Zerbi confirmed that the winger will be available to play against Leeds. A player 90Min said Leeds wanted to sign, back in the summer of 2021.
