Brighton and Hove Albion manager Roberto De Zerbi is anticipating that top scorer Joao Pedro will be unavailable for the upcoming match against Newcastle. Pedro, who scored his 20th goal of the season in the victory over Aston Villa, suffered an injury during training this week. De Zerbi expressed his concern, stating, “Maybe Joao Pedro has an ankle problem, and it is unfortunate news for us. I am unsure if he will be able to play again this season.” He also mentioned the importance of Pedro due to the physical condition of Julio Enciso and Ansu Fati. On a positive note, Adam Lallana and Tariq Lamptey may be fit for selection, while several other players like Evan Ferguson, Kaoru Mitoma, Solly March, Jack Hinshelwood, Pervis Estupinan, Jan Paul van Hecke, and James Milner are still sidelined. In other news, Newcastle’s Kieran Trippier is aiming to demonstrate his fitness for England’s Euro 2024 finals campaign after returning to training following a two-month absence due to a calf injury.
