Brighton manager stays optimistic after Yankuba Minteh injury in pre-season

Summary

Brighton & Hove Albion manager Fabian Hurzeler expressed optimism following an injury to winger Yankuba Minteh during a pre-season match. Minteh was forced off after a challenge in the Seagulls' 3-0 victory against AS Roma at the Amex Stadium. The injury raises concerns as key players, including Kaoru Mitoma and Carlos Baleba, are already sidelined ahead of the Premier League start. Hurzeler confirmed that Minteh attempted to continue playing through pain but was withdrawn from the match. Further assessments will depend on the results of a scan to determine the severity of the injury.
