Tariq Lamptey remains out with an injured hamstringOn Saturday, the youngster was left out of Albion’s opening friendly against Rangers for precautionary measures. The success of Potter’s back five comes from the progressive running of both Lamptey and Solly March, who act as outlets to push Albion up the field. In essence, when Veltman operates on the right of the back five, Brighton struggle to create the same quality of opportunities in attacking areas. Both Mwepu and Bissouma possess the physical profiles and tactical awareness to cover ground in defensive midfield and should provide the team with more security in defence. Unfortunately, Danny Welbeck was another omission from the squad on Saturday, with his fitness a question ahead of the new season.
