Naylor reporting he's ill - but expected to be on bench for Man Utd. Press conference cancelled so we'll all be guessing about Ferguson and Veltman and injuries i imagine.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
[Albion] RDZ - sick - but back on bench soon

I doubt we will be guessing about Veltman playing ….I’d wager done for the season

Watching De Zerbi cam after the games you can see how animated he is and how he's constantly shouting instructions at his players. I've always wondered how much this actually changes how the players are playing at the time. We've coped well when he's had his touchline bans haven't we.

Is it strange for them to outright cancel the press conference rather than just sending out the assistant manager?

I doubt they would have said he was expected to be back tomorrow night if it was covid …..lot of those normal virus things going around as well ..i know from personal experience

That’s what I think as well. Such a shame but hopefully he’ll have European football to look forward to next season…. By golly we’ll need him,

My thought as well. I thought we were obliged to put someone up under PL rules

It does say "De-Zerbi's" afternoon press conference is cancelled not Brighton's press conference. So maybe there will still be one. who knows?

It might also be if it is cancelled with extremely short notice (eg if he had just come down with a case of the Croydon Coach Driver's) then the obligation is waived as too short a time to get a stand-in in.
Not that this was necessarily extremely short notice. No idea if it was or not.

It's all the sleepless nights he's had trying to work out the best team for Man U

Nah. There's no 'depth' to the squad and the season is going to 'end horribly'. I read it on NSC, so it must be true

If he misses the Man Utd game can we get a credit note from the FA for the next red card?

He’s ill, no? Americans get sick…

The piece:
"Brighton’s players fear that Roberto De Zerbi will not stay at the club beyond this season, amid serious interest from Italy in the 43-year-old.
De Zerbi has been consistently linked with Inter Milan in recent months and Telegraph Sport understands there is genuine concern within the Brighton squad that the coach will return to his native country at the end of this campaign."
Let's believe all this is true. So, there's some interest from Inter (and who wouldn't be interested in RDZ right now) and one player or two personally fear that this interest will make him go back to Italy. No interest from RDZ though. Everything the man has said has been the complete opposite, and he hasn't said anything of the like to the players, since those are just transcribed as their "fears". I obviously have no knowledge but from what he's said in the past and from your situation, it seems to me like you don't have to worry about him this summer.
