[Albion] Injuries

[Kalimantan Gull]

Both the Milner and Dunk fitness/ injuries / issues have been reported as minor. No doubt RDZ being cautious with both of them. 2 weeks until Luton. Won’t stop the panicking or wild speculation obviously !

Are any of Moran, Offiah and Leonard injured? Was surprised not to see them take part in the US games.

Come on surely you can admit the Dunk ‘injury’ which has been present since the end of last season, forced him to pull out of an England squad and now missed pretty much all of pre season is a bit concerning

When someone reports he’s not been training (he has) or that he’s not going to recover in time for Luton in 2 weeks (they haven’t) - maybe . But agreed If he’s not in the starting 11 for the friendly next week then - a worry.

Almost certainly all going out on loan.

No Solly March or Webster either.
However, no game time at all for Lewis is really concerning.
Any news?

RDZ’s post match interview is quite revealing although he is not asked about Webster.

He basically says that the plan is to have Dunk and March ready for the first match but he is not taking risks with them in friendless because of their injuries at the end of last season. Milner has a small issue but he didn’t seem overly concerned.

 

[chaileyjem]

Any update? Bit disappointing to have four out already.

Dunk (training next week)
Lamptey (shock horror)
Bonny
Milner (don't think I've seen him kick a ball in the training pics yet)

Lamptey - played in last game of Summer series.
Buonanotte - he did as well
Milner/Dunk - Naylor reporting today both expected to be fit for Luton. Dunk expected to play in weekend friendly.

Basically - aside from Moder. There are no current reported injuries.

Dunk, Milner, Lallana - why start the burn out in July? Long season ahead. If I recall correctly Dunk has never played many pre season matches. Normally just plays the friendly the week before KO

Good point well made.

All of these fall under the ‘prolonging the career’ category now. We’ll be managing their minutes very carefully. Especially Dunk who I imagine, will only play in the League/FA cups in the later stages as he’ll surely be prioritised for EPL and Europa.

 

[The Fits]

Naylor said Dunk was expecting to play a part against Newcastle but didn't feel 100% and will play on Sunday.

 

[maltaseagull]

If sporting Lisbon still offering 15 million for Lampty, would bite their hands off and take it

That´s probably the cost of health insurance for him!

Don't know where you've got that from. He's always been involved from the first PSF match (unless specifically suffering from an injury, as he was in the summer of 2021 when he returned in time for the Getafe game).

I made it up

 

[chaileyjem]

Both Milner and Dunk now reported (by Naylor/The Athletic) to be playing minutes in the Raya Vallecano friendly on Sunday.

Milner could make first Brighton appearance in Vallecano friendly

James Milner is in contention to make his first appearance for Brighton in Sunday’s friendly against Rayo Vallecano at the Amex Stadium. The 37-year-old summer signing from Liverpool didn’t play any minutes on the club’s U.S. tour last week.Milner’s absence from matches against Chelsea...

None of them travelled to the US and Leonard has since gone on loan to Northampton. Expect the same for the other two.

Blimey! The Cobblers will be worth watching!

Just lamptey and velty out at the moment? (Plus some guy with a 'hamstring' issue)

Veltman is on the bench today. Lamptey not in squad.

Ahhh that was Naylor's error with veltman

 

[Zebedee]

Time to offload Lamptey I think. So many injuries and nowhere near the player he was.

'Her'?
