ENOCK MWEPU NEWS

Edging closer to return Mwepu (undisclosed) is back in training and should be an option soon, according to manager Graham Potter.

Impact Mwepu isn't well enough for Saturday's FA Cup match, but he'll have another week to get fit for the Feb. 12 league contest. While he got some more time prior to injury, he may return to a bench role with most of the other regulars returning to health in recent weeks.

Confirmed out multiple weeks Mwepu (undisclosed) will miss a few weeks after suffering an injury last weekend, according to manager Graham Potter.

Impact The reason is now clear why Moises Caicedo has returned from his loan, as Brighton won't have Yves Bissouma and Enock Mwepu for all of January. That being the case, Caicedo still may not receive minutes, as Jakub Moder remains available. As for Mwepu, it's a blow for him after starting four of the last five league matches, producing three assists in the last two.

Leaves injured in Cup match Mwepu was forced off in the 28th minute of Saturday's Cup match against West Brom with a possible muscle issue.

Impact Graham Potter said after the match that he hoped it was only a precautionary substitution, but that's an optimistic view. If Mwepu has to miss time, it'll be another absence for Brighton in their midfield with their next match being Jan. 14 against Palace.

Tallies two assists for win Mwepu tallied two assists, two chances created, two tackles (none won) and four fouls committed in Sunday's 3-2 win over Everton.

Impact Mwepu has been a massive factor of late and has been a creative force to reckon with after dishing three assists in his past two starts and also bagging a goal over his past six starts. The versatile midfielder has stringed those six starts together over his past nine matches and has been in the lineup now often enough to warrant some serious fantasy consideration despite a quiet first part of the season.

Records assist in win Mwepu took a shot and assisted a goal in Sunday's 2-0 victory against Brentford. He also made two clearances and won two of three tackles in the match.

Impact Mwepu set up Leandro Trossard's lovely chip-shot goal with a lobbed pass over the Brentford defenders on Sunday as his side won its first Premier League game since mid-September. He will want to have a similar influence against a tougher opponent Wednesday in Chelsea, which are third in the table thus far.

In contention Saturday Mwepu (hamstring) could be an option against Leeds United on Saturday. Manager Graham Potter told reporters, "Enock's recovered well and trained this week. We need to see how he is...

Impact While Mwepu had started two straight contests prior to getting hurt, he has only featured in the starting XI three times this season. As such, the midfielder is far from a lock to start versus Leeds. When he has played, Mwepu has registered one goal on three shots (one on target), nine tackles (six won) and five interceptions in six appearances.

Out against Villa Mwepu will miss Saturday's match against Aston Villa, according to manager Graham Potter. "Mwepu won't be available. He's not too bad but it's come too soon. We're hopeful for Leed...

Impact It's unfortunate for Mwepu, who was finally getting consistent minutes for Brighton. He suffered the issue in the match before the break and it looks like he could miss the next couple matches given that it's a hamstring injury. Pascal Gross is an option to start again, but Alexis Mac Allister and Jakub Moder could also be considered.

Injured with national team Mwepu was forced out of international action for Zambia because of a hamstring injury suffered in training, according to the team doctor.

Impact It's a disappointing injury for Mwepu, who had started the last two matches for Brighton. He was beginning to figure things out in the Premier League, though he was subbed off early at the break against Newcastle last match. Injury or not, he'll be moved in and out of the starting XI this season with minimal fantasy value.

Scores incredible goal in draw Mwepu scored a goal, took two shots (one on target) and made four tackles (won three) during Saturday's 2-2 draw against Liverpool.

Impact Mwepu changed the complexion of the match with ridiculous strike from outside the box. He struck a shot that looped over Alisson Becker and into the far corner to make it 2-1 early in the first half. This was his first start since the first match of the season and he may have earned more playing time in Saturday's match against Newcastle.

Impact Given Mwepu has made just one appearance in the starting XI this year, he likely will have to settle for a spot on the bench if cleared to play against Norwich. When he has gotten onto the pitch, the midfielder has generated just one shot (off target), two crosses (zero accurate) and three tackles (two won).

Out until after break Mwepu (groin) is not an option for Saturday's match against Arsenal.

Impact Mwepu tweaked his groin a week ago and it'll keep him out of Brighton's two matches before the break. The hope is that he can recover over the break, but even then, he doesn't have a spot in the starting XI when the other central midfielders are healthy.

Impact Mwepu apparently could've played on it, but given that he already missed a match with the injury, there's no reason to force him into the squad. Given that he's already a bench option, there's no reason to expect him in the XI Monday at Palace.

Impact Mwepu missed last weekend's match for an unknown reason, but it looks like he's ready to fight for time again. Unfortunately, he hasn't had a great start to his Brighton tenure, as he was pulled at the half in the opener and has played just 18 minutes since.

Impact This isn't a serious injury for Mwepu, but it doesn't seem like he'll be an option to start Saturday. At best, he'll get a few minutes off the bench. No matter, he'll try and recover completely over the international break and then be ready to fight for starts come September.
