Yankuba Minteh

Brighton & Hove Albion forward Yankuba Minteh (21) is battling to regain full fitness after picking up a dead leg during the 2-2 draw with West Ham on December 30. The winger was not deemed fit enough to feature in Saturday’s 2-0 win over Burnley, with head coach Fabian Hürzeler confirming the decision was precautionary rather than a setback.
