Bournemouth in pinch-me territory as another underdog success story in English soccer
These are pinch-me times for Bournemouth1 DAY AGO • Associated Press
Zadok Yohanna - Trains with U21 squad Yohanna (undisclosed) remains out for the time being as he continues training with Brighton's under-21 squad, according to coach Fabian Hurzeler, per The Argus.
Impact Yohanna remains sidelined as Brighton continues taking a cautious approach to his recovery and adaptation to English soccer. The young attacker has played just 12 minutes in the Premier League this season, having made his debut against Aston Villa before suffering a fitness setback. He is currently training with the under-21s rather than participating in first-team sessions. Coach Hurzeler mentioned no specific timeline him to return. His continued absence is unlikely to significantly affect Brighton's attacking rotation given his limited involvement this season.

Pascal Struijk - Remains questionable for City clash Struijk (undisclosed) remains doubtful for Saturday's Premier League clash against Manchester City after coach Fabian Hurzeler provided no update on his fitness during Thursday's p...
Impact Struijk continues to face uncertainty over his availability after missing Brighton's last matches due to an undisclosed fitness issue. The defender was most recently absent from the Carabao Cup clash against the Citizens, and coach Hurzeler's failure to address his condition Thursday leaves his recovery status unclear. With no indication that Struijk has resumed full training, his chances of returning against City remain uncertain. Lewis Dunk could continue to benefit from his absence in central defense if Struijk is unable to make the matchday squad.

Charalampos Kostoulas - Available after rest Kostoulas was rested for Wednesday's EFL Cup encounter against Manchester City and will return for Saturday's Premier League clash against the same opponent, according to coach Fab...
Impact Kostoulas was given a break during Wednesday's cup fixture as Brighton managed his workload ahead of the weekend's league encounter. The Greek forward previously started Sunday's 2-0 defeat against Liverpool, recording four shots and creating one chance despite failing to score. Coach Hurzeler indicated that his absence was a rest decision rather than an injury concern, suggesting Kostoulas will be available for Saturday's rematch against City. His involvement will depend on the coaching staff's attacking selections, but he remains an option for the starting lineup.

Ferdi Kadioglu - Could return Saturday Kadioglu (hip) could return for Saturday's Premier League clash against Manchester City after missing Wednesday's EFL Cup encounter against the same opponent, according to coach Fa...
Impact Kadioglu is making progress in his recovery after suffering a painful blow to his left hip during Sunday's 2-0 defeat against Liverpool, which forced him off after just seven minutes. The Turkish defender was initially considered a potential option for Wednesday's cup fixture but ultimately remained sidelined. Coach Hurzeler previously indicated that the injury was impact-related rather than a confirmed muscular problem and expressed confidence about his availability for the weekend. Kadioglu could therefore return to the starting lineup Saturday if his recovery continues without setbacks, while Costinha remains an alternative at right-back.

Man City, Liverpool win shootouts in English League Cup as Fleetwood discovers next opponent
Manchester City and Liverpool have avoided the fate that befell Arsenal by winning penalty shootouts to advance to the quarterfinals of the English League Cup2 DAYS AGO • Associated Press
Nico O'Reilly - Logs 87 minutes in EFL Cup O'Reilly made two interceptions and two clearances during Wednesday's EFL penalty shootout win over Brighton.
Impact O'Reilly recently bounced back to the squad after recovering from an injury that sidelined him since Oct. 17, but he didn't actually see action until the cup meeting against Brighton. He played as a left-back, and other than the defensive output, he looked solid on one-on-one play by winning eight of his 14 duels and completing three dribbles. The versatile man has made four starts in the 2026/27 Premier League season, but he's not guaranteed a regular spot in a left-sided position where Josko Gvardiol has been favored lately.
