Yankuba Minteh, a reported transfer target for Liverpool, is expected to miss two to three months due to a right leg injury. The injury occurred during Brighton's pre-season match against Roma, increasing Liverpool's difficulties in acquiring attacking reinforcements. Minteh's absence further complicates Brighton's preparations, as they also lack another key wide player, Kaoru Mitoma, who is recovering from surgery. Liverpool remains focused on other options, including Paris Saint Germain winger Bradley Barcola, before the transfer window closes on September 1.
