Impact Connolly appears close to a return, which means the Jan. 27 match is still in play, at least for a bench appearance. He last appeared Jan. 2 and it's good news that his hamstring issue seems to be minor.

Remains out for FA Cup Connolly (hamstring) is making good progress, but he'll miss this weekend's FA Cup match, according to manager Graham Potter.
Likely out multiple weeks Connolly suffered a hamstring injury in Saturday's match and will probably be out a couple weeks, manager Graham Potter confirmed after the draw.
Impact Connolly has been in and out of the starting XI over the last month and that's led to just two starts since Dec. 7. His absence likely means more starts for Neal Maupay and Danny Welbeck, assuming both are healthy, while Leandro Trossard has also been given recent starts after a run of bench appearances.

Scores, leaves with injury Connolly scored the opener and then was forced off after the break because of a possible hamstring injury in Saturday's match against Wolverhampton.
Impact Connolly made the starting XI Saturday despite dealing with a groin injury over the week and that likely had to do with his new hamstring issue. The hope is that it's not a serious injury, but at this point, a return to the XI seems unlikely for Brighton's Jan. 13 trip to Man City. On the bright side, Connolly bagged his third goal of the season Saturday, equaling his total from all of last campaign.

Starting against Wolves Connolly (groin) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Wolverhampton.
Impact Connolly returned to the bench midweek and he's back in the starting XI Saturday. He went a full 90 in his last start, but he went less than 70 minutes in his prior three starts. His groin injury will likely make him an early sub option again, limiting his fantasy floor.

Hopeful for Saturday Connolly (groin) trained Thursday and manager Graham Potter is hopeful the forward is available for Saturday's match against Wolverhampton.
Impact Connolly was healthy enough to make the bench Tuesday, so it'd be a surprise if he completely missed out Saturday, similar to Danny Welbeck. That said, Connolly's groin injury seems a bit more worrisome and something you don't want to play through, so even if he's on the bench again, he may not enter the pitch.

Available Tuesday Connolly (groin) is on the bench for Tuesday's match against Arsenal.
Impact Connolly was held out of last weekend's match because of the injury, but it was never considered serious and he makes the squad Tuesday, though a spot on the bench obviously limits his fantasy upside.

Dealing with groin issue Connolly wasn't in the squad for Sunday's match against West Ham because of a groin issue suffered in training Saturday.
Impact Connolly completely missed Sunday's match and while it's not believed to be serious, he may be forced to miss Tuesday's contest, as well. Groin injuries aren't something to play through, which likely means more starts for Neal Maupay and Danny Welbeck ahead.

One shot before subbing off Connolly took one shot (on goal) and crossed once inaccurately during Monday's 2-1 loss to Southampton.
Impact Connolly was held off the scoresheet as Brighton's lone goal came from a penalty on Monday. The forward crossed just once, while his one shot tied for the second highest total on the team. Connolly was subbed off in the 64th minute of the loss.

Starts against Liverpool Connolly took two shots (neither on goal) and drew two fouls during Saturday's 1-1 draw against Liverpool.
Impact Connolly returned to the starting XI for the first time since Oct. 3 and lasted 63 minutes. He played well enough to come back into the starting XI for the Southampton match on Dec. 7.

Back in training Connolly (hamstring) is back in training and should be available for Saturday's trip to Aston Villa, according to manager Graham Potter.
Impact Connolly recovered over the break and could make an immediate return to the starting XI if needed Saturday. That said, he last started Oct. 3 as he's been moved to a bench role behind Adam Lallana, though the injury to Leandro Trossard could give him more minutes against Villa.

Suffers minor hamstring injury Connolly suffered a "very minor grade hamstring strain" that will rule him out for 10 days, Ireland manager Stephen Kenny told reporters.
Impact This is good news for Connolly, who has been dropped to a bench role for Brighton in recent weeks. He should be back in training ahead of the Nov. 21 trip to Villa and possibly make the bench if the injury is a minor as the Ireland manager made it seem.

Injured with national team Connolly suffered an injury in training with the Irish national team and will miss all three matches over the international break.
Impact Connolly has dealt with a few minor injuries this season and this looks to be another one, though there's a chance it keeps him out longer. While he opened the season as a regular, he's played just 16 minutes over the last four matches for Brighton with Adam Lallana and Danny Welbeck seeing more time in the attack.

Assists late off bench Connolly (knock) assisted in 12 minutes off the bench of Sunday's 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace.
Impact Connolly wasn't healthy enough to start Sunday, but he still helped Brighton secure a late point. With a full week of training, it's expected he'll return to the starting XI next match, likely taking the spot of Adam Lallana.

Picks up knock Connolly picked up a knock in Wednesday's match with Ireland and manager Graham Potter is waiting to see how the forward recovers ahead of Sunday's match against Crystal Palace.
Impact Connolly had quite the international break, as he was forced into isolation due to close contact with a positive COVID-19 case, but he was then deemed eligible and returned for Wednesday's match in which he picked up a knock. While the issue doesn't seem serious, there's a chance Adam Lallana comes into the starting XI for him Sunday.

Rejoins Ireland Connolly has been given permission to rejoin Ireland ahead of Wednesday's match against Finland.
Impact Connolly was forced to leave the squad after a player he had contact with tested positive for COVID-19 last week. After a run of negative tests, he's back with the team and should be fit for Brighton after the international break.

Withdrawn from national team Connolly has withdrawn from the Irish national team because he was a close contact to a staff member who tested positive for COVID-19.
Impact It's unfortunate for Connolly, who wasn't with Ireland in Thursday's UEFA match. Fortunately, he didn't test positive for COVID-19 and as long as he tests negative in the coming week, he should be an option for Brighton on Oct. 18.
