Listed to bench Ayari (shoulder) is on the bench for Wednesday's match against Arsenal.

Impact Ayari will not miss any more time with his shoulder injury after five games out, returning to a spot on the bench. With 18 starts in 21 appearances this campaign, he will look to be back in a starting role soon, notching three goals and two assists this season.

Likely available Wednesday Ayari (shoulder) should be an option for Wednesday's clash against Arsenal, according to coach Fabian Hurzeler, per The Argus. "I am quite confident he will be an option tomorrow."

Impact Ayari has missed the last five matches with a shoulder injury but returned to full-contact training and is trending toward being available for Wednesday's showdown against Arsenal. Barring any setbacks before kickoff, the midfielder should be back in the matchday squad and likely ease in off the bench after a month on the sidelines. From there, he is expected to work his way back into his regular starting role in the heart of the Seagulls' midfield once he regains full match fitness.

Expected to train Thursday Ayari (shoulder) is expected to train Thursday for the first time and remains a doubt for Sunday's clash against Nottingham Forest, coach Fabian Hurzeler said in the press conferen...

Impact Ayari has missed the last four matches with a shoulder injury, but the midfielder is on track to rejoin team training in Thursday's session for the first time since going down. That's an encouraging step forward for the Seagulls, though he still carries a question mark heading into Sunday's clash against Nottingham Forest. Ayari has been a steady presence in the middle of the park when healthy, so if he's forced to sit out again, Jack Hinshelwood would continue to see an uptick in minutes and responsibility.

Will resume training next week Ayari (shoulder) remains out but should resume team training next week, coach Fabian Hurzeler said in the press conference, according to BBC Sussex Sport.

Impact Ayari has missed the last three games in all competitions with a shoulder injury and is set to sit out a fourth, as he is only expected to return to team training next week with the Seagulls. It is a tough setback for Albion given he is a regular starter when healthy and his absence disrupts the usual midfield balance. With Ayari sidelined, Jack Hinshelwood is in line for an expanded role in the center of the park and should continue to log heavier minutes.

Expected back soon Ayari (shoulder) was mentioned by coach Fabian Hurzeler, who said in Thursday's press conference that the player "is still missing. He is doing rehab, but he's getting closer. We e...

Impact Ayari is still sidelined for the cup visit to Liverpool while he recovers from the issue that forced him to miss the last two league games. Having scored two goals and two assists over his latest five appearances, the midfielder will look to boost his team's all-around value in the short term, pushing to regain a starting spot from either Jack Hinshelwood or Carlos Baleba.

Suffers shoulder injury Ayari suffered a shoulder injury during the clash against Everton and is ruled out for Sunday's game against Crystal Palace, coach Fabian Hurzeler said in the press conference, acc...

Impact Ayari won't be an option for Sunday's clash against Crystal Palace as he needs to recover from a shoulder injury suffered in the previous match against the Toffees. His absence is a hit for the Seagulls, as Ayari has been a regular presence in midfield this season, and it will force a reshuffle in the center of the park. Jack Hinshelwood and Matt O'Riley are the leading candidates to step into larger roles as a result.

FEBRUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Sets up opener Ayari assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Everton.

Impact Ayari set up Pascal Gross for the opener in the 73rd minute. Ayari also recorded 40 passes and made two tackles and a clearance. Ayari has been sensational in 2026, now registering four goal contributions in last four games.

Scores vs. Fulham Ayari scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 2-1 loss versus Fulham.

Impact Ayari broke the deadlock for Brighton with a thunderous strike in the first half in what was his third goal of the season. The midfielder has cracked the scoresheet in his last three EPL appearances, tallying two goals and one assist over that span.

JANUARY 28 • ROTOWIRE

Saves day with assist Ayari assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Wednesday's 1-1 draw against Manchester City.

Impact Ayari would save an almost brutal day at the park with an assist, finding Mitoma in the 60th minute to earn an assist and level the match. This comes just after he nearly gave away a goal before nearly giving up another later in the match, both coming on bad passes. This is consecutive games with a goal contribution for the midfielder, up to three goal contributions in 19 appearances (16 starts).

JANUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Scores second in 2-0 win Ayari scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-0 win versus Burnley.

Impact Ayari scored his second goal of the season as he helped secure three points in a win over Burnley. This matches his goal tally for all of last season, despite being only 20 games into this season. He has taken 14 shots in the last four games, and this goal was his only shot on target out of nine in the last three games. The midfielder also won only one of four tackles in the game, making it two tackles won out of seven attempts in the last two games.

JANUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Struggles in front of goal Ayari generated four shots (zero on goal) in Saturday's 2-1 defeat versus Arsenal.

Impact Ayari was not able to put any of his attempts on the frame, and the midfielder didn't do much else in terms of service offensively. He has a good chance to recover from this showing against West Ham on Tuesday, as the Hammers have a -17 goal differential thanks to 36 goals conceded in 18 EPL games.

DECEMBER 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Five shots in 0-0 draw Ayari had five shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Sunderland.

When he has a shot on target in a game, he has at least two. After two games out in early December, he then came on as a sub against Liverpool but returned to the starting lineup.

Bench option Saturday Ayari (strain) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Liverpool.

Impact Ayari missed the last two matches due to a muscular issue but is back available for Saturday's clash against Liverpool. While he has been a regular starter for the Seagulls, the club opted for a cautious approach by easing him back as a substitute. He could still provide midfield depth off the bench as he continues his recovery.

Available against Liverpool Ayari (strain) is back available for Saturday's clash against Liverpool, coach Fabian Hurzeler said in the press conference, according to The Argus.

Impact Ayari missed the last two games due to a muscular problem but is back available for Saturday's clash against Liverpool. The midfielder has been a regular starter for the Seagulls and should claim back his role on Saturday now that he is an option.

Missing to face West Ham Ayari (strain) is out for Sunday's match against West Ham.

Impact Ayari is not with the team Sunday after being a possibility to make his return, with a strain being too much for the midfielder. He is a normal starter, so they will sweat out his return, likely not to miss much more time after being a close call Sunday.

DECEMBER 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Could be back Sunday Ayari (strain) could be back for Sunday's clash against West Ham United, coach Fabian Hurzeler said in the press conference, according to The Argus.

Impact Ayari missed the last game against Aston Villa due to a muscular injury that revealed to be only a minor one since he could be back for Sunday's clash against the Hammers. The midfielder will be a late fitness call after the final training session and will likely start in the midfield on Sunday if deemed fit enough for the game since he has been a regular starter this season for the Seagulls. That said, if he can't make the match squad or if he had to start on the bench, Jack Hinshelwood would be the likely option to start in the midfield in his spot.

Impact Ayari hit the sidelines Wednesday despite no mention of an injury entering the match, now confirmed that he was suffering from a muscle injury. He will need to make a quick turnaround to recover and be fit in time for Sunday's match against West Ham. The club will hope he is an option, as he is a regular starter when fit, only missing two starts all campaign when fit.

DECEMBER 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Suffering from knock Ayari is out for Wednesday's match against Aston Villa due to a knock, according to Andy Naylor of The Athletic.

Impact Ayari is on the sidelines Wednesday for a midweek match, with the midfielder suffering from a knock that is enough to keep him from playing. This is a major loss, as he is a regular starter in the midfield, last missing the starting XI Sept. 13. He will have to make a quick turnaround to make their next contest, facing West Ham on Sunday.

DECEMBER 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Makes starting squad Ayari (ankle) is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash against Brentford.

Impact Ayari came back from international duty with an ankle injury that turned out to be minor, and he is now in the starting squad for Saturday's clash against Brentford. This is a positive development for the Seagulls because he has been an undisputed starter in the midfield throughout the season.

Available against Brentford Ayari (ankle) is available for Saturday's clash against Brentford, coach Fabian Hurzeler said in the press conference, according to Johnny Cantor.

Impact Ayari came back from international duty with an ankle injury that revealed to be minor since he is an option for Saturday's clash against Brentford. This is good news for the Seagulls since he has been an undisputed starter in the midfield and should claim back that role against the Bees on Saturday.

NOVEMBER 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers ankle injury Ayari suffered an ankle injury while on international duty with Sweden and his availability for Saturday's game against Brentford is uncertain, Brian Owen of The Argus reports.

Impact Ayari went off with an ankle injury in the 4-1 defeat against Switzerland on Saturday, and the midfielder didn't suit up for the Slovenia match on Tuesday. Ayari has started in nine of his 11 appearances with Brighton this season, so losing him would be a big blow for the team. Further tests will be needed to determine his availability ahead of Saturday's contest.

NOVEMBER 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Scores in Saturday's draw Ayari scored one goal to go with five shots (two on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 2-2 draw versus Tottenham Hotspur.

Impact Ayari scored his first goal of the season Saturday, an outside-the-box strike in the 31st minute which took the 2-0 lead. It was one of five shots he took in the match and he also created one chance and took one corner on the attack. On the defensive end he won one tackle, intercepted one pass and made one clearance in his full 90 minutes of action.

SEPTEMBER 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Four shots in defeat Ayari recorded four shots (two on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and two corners in Sunday's 2-0 defeat to Everton.

Impact Ayari started in central midfield and produced Brighton's first effort of the match with a shot that tested Jordan Pickford in the opening stages. It was the first of his four shots during his 67 minutes on Sunday against the Toffees. Ayari also had a solid defensive shift, contributing three tackles and one interception while taking two corners, similar to the season opener against Fulham.

AUGUST 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Decent outing in midfield Ayari generated four crosses (zero accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Fulham.

Impact Ayari started in central midfield and drew a Brighton-best four fouls in a combative display. The midfielder played decently on Saturday against Fulham, delivering two corners and four crosses while making two interceptions in the middle of the pitch. Ayari is expected to be a player to follow this season as he will likely see more playing minutes than last season and take all the set-pieces if Matt ORiley exits the club during the summer transfer window.

AUGUST 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Excellent as started Ayari scored two goals and added one assist in 34 appearances (22 starts) in the Premier League.

Impact Ayari finally took on a starting role in the Premier League and thrived. Even in the matches he didn't start he was often one of the first players off the bench, on the way to nearly 2,000 minutes. It's not likely that he's an every-day starter moving forward, but he should be in for a consistent role as a depth midfield option.
