Impact Minteh has recovered from the dead leg he suffered against West Ham United and is back available for Monday's clash against the Cherries. This is good news for the Seagulls, since he has been a regular starter for the team and is expected to reclaim his role in the upcoming fixtures. If Minteh is not fit enough to start the game on Monday, Diego Gomez and Brajan Gruda are the two likely options to start in his spot.

Impact Minteh missed Sunday's clash against Burnley following the dead leg he suffered against West Ham United and isn't yet fully fit according to coach Fabian Hurzeler, making him a doubt for Wednesday's clash against Manchester City.

Subs off injured against West Ham Minteh suffered a potential thigh injury that prevented him from completing Tuesday's game versus West Ham, Andy Naylor of The Athletic reports.

Impact Minteh went down with the injury after attempting one shot and winning a penalty kick over 58 minutes on the pitch Tuesday. He's now at risk of missing upcoming fixtures, but the severity of his situation remains unknown. The attacker has been a reliable source of shots and crosses while recording one goal and four assists in the current campaign. However, Brajan Gruda could take his place on the right wing in the event of a serious issue.

Impact Minteh took three shots and created a chance during Saturday's loss, but nothing would beat Alisson.

Minteh is scoring fewer goals this season for Brighton but has already tied his four-assist total from last season and will look to add to his tally in Sunday's clash against Forest.

Impact Minteh took a pair of shots and four corners as well as sending in nine crosses Sunday.

He placed a shot on target and had two other attempts blocked, but his key contribution was creating the assist for Kaoru Mitoma's goal. It was the winger's first direct contribution from four league appearances this season despite consistent minutes, following a 2024-25 campaign that saw him post six goals and four assists. While his pace and attacking intent keep him involved, Minteh's contribution will depend on Brighton creating more quality chances in transition.

Double-digit goal contributions Minteh recorded six goals and four assists across 32 appearances (20 starts) in the Premier League.

Impact Despite not being one of the team's household players, Minteh ended up being one of the most consistent producers for the Seagulls. The 10 goal contributions were a career-high mark for him in his second season with the club, and he could be in line for an expanded role in 2025/26, particularly if players such as Joao Pedro and Kaoru Mitoma end up leaving in the summer. Minteh certainly showed he belongs in the EPL with his play in 2024/25.
