In the early morning of the 29th, Brighton will play Tottenham at home in the 19th round of the Premier League. After Kaoru Mitoma and Adingra fell, as many as 11 people in Brighton's squad were wounded, and all three lines were in full swing.
Considering the team's more aggressive style of play, it is really difficult for Brighton to get points against Tottenham Hotspur who are relatively complete in strength and lineup.
In his pre-match press conference, coach De Zerbi confirmed that Kaoru Mitoma will be out for six weeks with an injury and will miss the upcoming Asian Cup. Subsequently, the media confirmed that Adingra, a young winger who has risen to prominence this season, has also suffered an injury and will be out for at least four weeks.
Brighton, who have played on multiple fronts this season, have serious injuries. So far, five of the team's eight forwards have fallen (Kaoru Mitoma/Fati/Marchi/Enciso/Adingra), Feltman/Esfart Tunian/Lamptey/Webster are also injured in the defence, and midfielders Modell/Dahoud are also injured.
With 11 injuries and key players on all three lines, Brighton are super remnants.
Although Sergio Romero retired from injury last time out, and Van der Winn and Maddison are still recovering from injuries, the team's current injury has improved significantly. Moreover, Tottenham Hotspur has come out of the previous slump of 1 draw and 4 losses after the gradual return of the injured.
This round of the Premier League is played during Boxing Day, and the average number of goals per game has skyrocketed. The official of the Premier League said before the start of this round that he hoped that the Premier League could complete the goal "explosion" on Boxing Day in this round. Officials began to encourage attack, and the Premier League powerhouses naturally responded positively, and eventually there were more goals.
This situation is very beneficial for Tottenham today.
