Liverpool's interest in Yankuba Minteh halts due to injury setback

Liverpool's potential pursuit of Yankuba Minteh has been curtailed following his significant injury while playing for Brighton. The 22-year-old winger is expected to be sidelined for two to three months after sustaining a leg injury during a match against Roma. This adds to Brighton's woes, as they also lack Kaoru Mitoma, who is recovering from a hamstring issue. While Minteh was considered a possible addition for Liverpool this transfer window, the club's focus appears to be on other targets such as Bradley Barcola and Ibrahim Mbaye. Minteh's situation may prompt Liverpool to reconsider their interest once he returns to fitness.
