Impact Milner has gone down injury but luckily for the midfielder, his issues look to be minor. This is great news for the club, as he has started in all three matches so far this campaign, although scans have yet to be done. That said, he will look for the scans to come back negative for any further issues, looking to return after the international break in the club's next match on Sept. 14.

Back on field Milner (thigh) appeared for 45 minutes in Tuesday's friendly against the Kashima Antlers.

Impact Milner looks to have shaken off the issues he ended last season with, as the midfielder was included in the club's pre-season friendly and received time in the first half. With him having taken the field for open play again, he should be fit to begin the season. He will likely hold a rotational role to start the campaign, starting in 11 of his 15 appearances last season while notching two assists on 16 chances created to go along with eight interceptions, 13 clearances, 20 tackles and 29 crosses.

Season over Milner (thigh) is targeting a return in pre-season, according to manager Roberto De Zerbi.

Impact Milner's season is over, as expected. The midfielder penned a one-year extension earlier in the week, guaranteeing he'd stay at Brighton for the 2024/25 season. Milner will be hoping to get fully fit before pre-season kicks off.

Impact Milner won't be an option as the same thigh injury continues to be a thorn in his side in the back half of the season. The midfielder seemed set to finish the campaign in a solid role before this injury sidelined him for more than two months. Originally he was expected to return in March and now it appears he may not return until the end of April at the earliest.

Remains out Milner (thigh) is out for Sunday's match against Liverpool, manager Roberto De Zerbi stated.

Impact Milner is going to have to wait another match for his return despite being anticipated for a return at the end of March. He has now missed nine contests due to his current injuries and will hope his return to play can come Wednesday against Brentford.

MARCH 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to return at end of March Milner (thigh) is expected to return after the March international break, as manager Roberto De Zerbi stated, "Pedro and Milner I hope will be back after the international break."

Impact Milner has now missed the last month and a half of play due to a thigh issue, but it appears he will only need a couple more weeks before he is back on the field, as he is now expected to return against Liverpool on March 31. This will be a nice addition back into the squad for the club, as despite not being an everyday starter, the midfielder is still a decent option for depth, being able to start and play in multiple positions when healthy. When he does return, he most likely will need a few matches off the bench before getting the start, as at the age of 38, the club will not want to risk aggravating the issue, taking his addition back to the team cautiously.

Needs weeks before return Milner (thigh) needs a couple more weeks before he can return, according to manager Roberto De Zerbi.

Impact Milner has already been out a month and it looks like he'll be out about another month until the March international break. At this point in his career, injury recovery isn't quite as smooth and his time on the sideline is only made worse by numerous other teammates battling injuries.

Impact Milner is set for a significant spell on the sideline following the thigh injury he picked up against Luton Town. The midfielder has filled in all over the pitch for the Seagulls in recent matches and will be a major loss. Milner will be targeting a return during a March 2 trip to Fulham or a Feb. 24 clash with Everton, if he recovers quickly.

Suffers thigh injury Milner was forced off in the first half of Tuesday's clash with Luton Town due to an apparent injury.

Impact Milner lasted just under 15 minutes before a thigh injury saw him require treatment and limp off. The midfielder has started four matches in a row and will be tough to replace either at left-back or in holding midfield. Milner will be a major doubt for Saturday's clash with Crystal Palace, especially due to the short week. Jack Hinshelwood came on to replace Milner and could see more run in the starting XI if the injury proves to be severe.

Impact Milner is not available for Saturday's clash, and there was no timeline for when he will be ready. It's doubly concerning since Milner offers depth up and down the starting XI heading into the busiest portion of the season. Milner will hope to return quickly, but there's been no stronger updates on what the injury is outside of being a muscular issue.

Out against Sheffield Milner (undisclosed) won't be available for Sunday's match against Sheffield United, according to the club.

Impact Milner won't be an option on Sunday after going down with an injury against Ajax just a couple of minutes into the match. This injury wouldn't usually affect the team sheet too much for Birhgton, but with most of their defensive players out injured, it will cause a little chaos in the backline. Expect the likes of Pascal Gross or Billy Gilmour to play out of position on the flanks of the defense in place of the injured Milner.

Forced off with muscular issue Milner pulled up limping and came off during the first half of Thursday's clash with Ajax.

Impact Milner was forced off from his starting role, it's particularly bad luck as Pervis Estupinan (strain) is on the bench but wasn't ready for a full 90. Since Estupinan wasn't an option to play 80 or more minutes Billy Gilmour is the short-term replacement, though Estupinan could take his role back as soon as the second half.
