Brighton v Wolves injury news: Welbeck, Minteh and Johnstone latest as nine out and three doubts

Ahead of the Brighton & Hove Albion vs Wolverhampton Wanderers match, several injury updates have emerged for key players from both teams.

For Brighton, Danny Welbeck, the team’s top scorer, is set to undergo a late fitness test after suffering a back injury in the previous match against Newcastle United. If he is fit, his return could pose a challenge for Wolves’ defense. However, winger Yankuba Minteh has been ruled out with a minor muscular injury. Other notable absentees for Brighton include Joao Pedro, Adam Webster, James Milner, and Matt O’Riley, who are all sidelined. On a positive note, Solly March is in contention to be included in the matchday squad.

For Wolverhampton Wanderers, goalkeeper Sam Johnstone, who missed the 2-1 defeat to Manchester City due to an adductor issue, may be available for selection. Manager Gary O’Neil has indicated he won’t face a selection dilemma, despite Jose Sa’s impressive performance against City. Meanwhile, Hwang Hee-Chan is still unavailable due to an ankle injury, and long-term absentees Yerson Mosquera, Enso Gonzalez, and Sasa Kalajdzic are recovering from anterior cruciate ligament injuries. Bastien Meupiyou is nearing fitness but remains a doubt.

Key players out include Minteh, Pedro, Webster, Milner, and O’Riley for Brighton, while Hwang, Mosquera, Gonzalez, and Kalajdzic are missing for Wolves. Doubts surround Welbeck and Johnstone, as well as Meupiyou for Wolves.
