Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi reckons his squad have enough leaders to fill in for captain Lewis Dunk ahead of their return to Premier League action.
The Seagulls lost 3-2 to AEK Athens at the Amex Stadium on Thursday evening as their first Europa League campaign got off to an underwhelming start.
Midfielder Pascal Gross captained the side on Thursday night, but the midfielder is another who continues to be assessed on his own muscle issue as does James Milner.“We can’t take risk especially in this part of the season,” the Brighton boss said.“Adam Webster is a leader, one of the best inside the dressing room. When he played, he played every game in a good way.
Evan Ferguson could return having missed Thursday’s game through illness, while on-loan Barcelona forward Ansu Fati will be hoping for another opportunity after making a first start against AEK. “We are not used to playing three games . West Ham last year were in the Conference League and Liverpool the Champions League, but we are not used to it,” he told a press conference.
