Brighton star facing a further five weeks out after being ruled out by Roberto De Zerbi - plus Ansu Fati and Julio Enciso return dates

Brighton and Hove Albion have been hit with a blow as Roberto De Zerbi has ruled out of their next five matches due to an injury. The Italian manager sustained the injury during the team's training session and is expected to be out for several weeks. This news comes after Ansu Fati and Julio Enciso also suffered injuries in recent matches, leaving the team short on options.

Brighton has been struggling with injuries lately, with several key players missing from their squad. In addition to De Zerbi, Fati, and Enciso, other players such as Tariq Lamptey and Adam Webster have also been ruled out due to injuries. This has made it difficult for the team to maintain their form and consistency on the field.

Despite these challenges, Brighton has shown resilience and determination in their recent matches. They managed to draw against Tottenham Hotspur last weekend, despite being down to ten men after Enciso was sent off. The team will need to continue this level of performance and find ways to overcome their injuries if they are to succeed in the coming weeks.

In terms of their next match, Brighton will face West Ham United on Saturday at the Amex Stadium. It remains to be seen how the team will cope without De Zerbi and other key players, but they will need to give it their all if they are to come out on top.
