Yankuba Minteh set for potential return against Liverpool on Sunday

Summary

Yankuba Minteh may be available for Brighton's match against Liverpool on October 29. The winger has not played yet this season due to a leg injury sustained in a summer friendly. Brighton previously rejected Liverpool's transfer bids, raising the price for Minteh to £80 million. Head coach Fabian Hurzeler mentioned that Minteh could return soon, which could impact Brighton's attacking options. Prior to this, Minteh missed matches against Crystal Palace and Jablonec. Liverpool aims to build on their recent Champions League victory over Villarreal as they face a strong Brighton side.
