Starts in cup win Veltman played the full 90 during Wednesday's 3-1 win over Arsenal in the League Cup.

Impact Veltman was able to play after only briefly featuring over the previous two matches due to a calf injury. Now that he's fit, manager Roberto De Zerbi could return to a system that starts Veltman, Adam Webster and Lewis Dunk along the back line in Sunday's match against Aston Villa.

On bench for Wolves clash Veltman is fit and in the match day squad to face Wolverhampton Saturday.

Impact Veltman returns from a calf injury that has kept him out of Brighton's previous two matches. The defender starts from the bench after making 11 starts and helping his club to three clean sheets in the league.

Late test at Wolves Veltman (calf) is considered a late-fitness test for Saturday's match against Wolverhampton, according to manager Roberto De Zerbi. "Joel could be ready to play, we still have to d...

Impact Veltman has missed just one match with this calf issue and it wouldn't be surprising if the team took its time with this. He still has a chance to make the Netherlands squad for the World Cup and it'd be wise not to start him right away. In his absence, Brighton moved to more of a four-man back line in the win against Chelsea.

Confirmed as out Veltman is not in the match day squad to face Chelsea on Saturday.

Impact Veltman remains out with a calf injury that took him off early a week ago against Manchester City. The defender has been a key man for Brighton on the season, starting 11 matches while helping his side to three clean sheets.

Doubt against Chelsea Veltman (calf) is considered a doubt for Saturday's match against Chelsea, according to manager Roberto De Zerbi.

Impact Brighton don't have a ton of depth on the back line, so Veltman's absence could either change the formation or force someone like Pervis Estupinan into a back three. It's a tough situation for De Zerbi going against Brighton's former manager and it may force a formation change.

OCTOBER 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Leaves early against Man City Veltman was replaced by Pervis Estupinan after 65 minutes of Saturday's match against Manchester City.

Impact Veltman was able to walk off the pitch without assistance but asked for a change after running out his legs for the day. So long as nothing else comes up after some tests, Veltman should be able to keep up his streak of starting in each league match.

Scores in win Veltman scored a goal off two shots (one on target) and made four tackles (one won), two clearances and three interceptions during Sunday's 3-1 win over West Ham.

Impact Veltman had another solid performance on the defensive end, this time as a right back, but his biggest contribution came on offense as he netted a one-timed shot to draw things level at 1-1 in the 50th minute, paving the way for his side to close the season with a nice come-from-behind win. This was the first goal of the season for Veltman, who played equally well as right back and as centre back. Over his 34 appearances, the defender also added one assist, 17 chances created, 42 crosses, 85 clearances, 74 tackles and eight clean sheets, being a key piece for Brighton to have their best-ever EPL campaign.

Starting against Chelsea Veltman (hamstring) will be in the starting XI versus Chelsea on Wednesday.

Impact Veltman returns to the pitch after missing the club's Boxing Day clash with Brentford due to his hamstring problem. Considering the defender has zero shots on target in 14 appearances this season, fantasy players shouldn't be expecting much out of him in the final third.

DECEMBER 29, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Late test against Brentford Veltman (hamstring) "will be assessed in the build up" to Sunday's match against Brentford, according to Graham Potter.

Impact This isn't an overly positive update on Veltman, but it looks like he has a chance of playing Sunday after suffering an issue roughly a week ago. Still, he may not be risked if not fully healthy, especially with Shane Duffy and Adam Webster options to start again.

DECEMBER 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Picks up possible hamstring issue Veltman picked up a possible hamstring issue late in Wednesday's loss against Wolves, reports Andy Naylor of The Athletic.

Impact If Veltman indeed suffered a hamstring injury, it'll put him out at least one match and possibly more. Brighton are struggling for healthy bodies and while Shane Duffy is available following suspension, he's their only true center-back available to them.

DECEMBER 16, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

In starting XI Wednesday Veltman (face) is in the starting XI for Wednesday's match against Wolves.

Impact Veltman appears to be playing at center-back Wednesday alongside Dan Burn due to Brighton's other absences. This limits any kind of fantasy value for Veltman, who no longer seems to have much of an attacking role, as Tariq Lamptey is now the guy on the wing and right-back.

DECEMBER 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Status uncertain Veltman (face) was not mentioned during manager Graham Potter's press conference, leaving questions regarding his availability versus Wolverhampton on Wednesday.

Impact Considering Veltman has started 11 of his 12 appearances this year, he should be a near-lock for the starting XI if given the all-clear. Even if he does start, the defender figures to be a low-end fantasy target given his lack of offensive upside -- he has just three shots (zero on target) this year.

Comes off injured against Southampton Veltman was subbed out of Saturday's draw against Southampton in the 78th minute after getting hit in the face. He made three clearances and won three of five tackles in the match...

Impact Veltman lasted about 10 minutes after getting caught in the face by a Nathan Tella foul, but he eventually had to be taken off. With Lewis Dunk (knee) and Adam Webster (calf) also injured, Brighton might have to dig deep for a defender if Veltman is forced to miss additional game time.

DECEMBER 4, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Sets up lone goal Veltman had an assist with his lone chance created while crossing three times (one accurate) and making eight tackles (winning five) during Monday's 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace.

Impact Veltman set up Neal Maupay in the 95th minute assisting the lone Brighton goal to equalize late for a point. The assist was the first of the season for the fullback while his eight tackles led Brighton in the draw.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Plays 45 minutes off bench Veltman (close contact) played 45 minutes off the bench in Saturday's loss against Everton, creating two chances and committing three fouls.

Impact Originally expected to be out until after the break, Veltman was back in the squad Saturday and came on for Adam Mac Allister after half. With more training under his belt, there's a good bet he'll be back in the XI after the break having made 25 starts last season.

AUGUST 30, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Expected back after break Veltman (close contact) isn't expected to be back until after the international break, according to manager Graham Potter. "We're looking at after the international break for him,...

Impact It seems more likely that Veltman tested positive for COVID-19, as he's supposedly missing the first three matches of the season because of being a close contact. No matter the case, Shane Duffy has started and played well to begin the campaign, so Veltman's absence hasn't been fully felt just yet.

AUGUST 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Still out Saturday Veltman (close contact) will not be an option for Saturday's match against Watford.

Impact Veltman has to miss the first two matches of the season after being a close contact to a positive COVID-19 case. It's a wonder if he tested positive himself because most players haven't had to miss two weeks for being a close contact. His absence likely means another start for Steven Alzate.

AUGUST 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Misses opening win Veltman was not in the squad for Saturday's opening win against Burnley because he was a close contact of a positive COVID-19 case, according to manager Graham Potter.

Impact Veltman was a surprise absence in the opening win, but he should be back in the squad for the next match, Saturday against Watford. He'll now have to win his spot back in the XI after Shane Duffy got a surprise start in the win, though he could also move into the XI for Steven Alzate.

AUGUST 16, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Stays on bench in friendly Veltman (calf) has been pictured in training and was on the bench in Wednesday's friendly with Netherlands.

Impact Veltman probably isn't completely fit just yet, but he still has a chance to make the pitch in the next Netherlands friendly. For now, he's not expected to start, but that could change as group stages move along with his biggest competition being Denzel Dumfries at right-back.

JUNE 4, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Makes final Euro squad Veltman (calf) made the final squad for Netherlands ahead of the upcoming Euros.

Impact Veltman missed the final four matches of the season for Brighton, but it looks like he's healthy enough to take part in Euros. His health will be made known in upcoming friendlies and if all is well, he could be the starting right-back for Netherlands if called upon.
