Awaiting scans after thigh injury
Chema is awaiting further medical examinations after suffering a thigh injury during Sunday's Premier League clash against Liverpool, according to coach Fabian Hurzeler, per Sussex Express. "It's a similar place where Ferdi had the injury (hip/thigh)."
Analysis: Chema is facing uncertainty over his availability for Brighton's upcoming fixtures after suffering a thigh injury during Sunday's 2-0 loss against Liverpool. The Spanish midfielder experienced discomfort immediately after clearing the ball and was forced off in the 53rd minute, limping toward the sidelines before being replaced by Malick Yalcouye. Manager Hurzeler subsequently indicated that the injury affected a similar area to the one in which Ferdi Kadioglu (hip) had experienced discomfort, raising concerns about another potential absence. However, the severity of Chema's injury remains unclear, with further scans required before the club can establish a diagnosis or recovery timeline. Brighton face consecutive matches against Manchester City in the Carabao Cup and Premier League, leaving Chema's availability for both encounters in doubt. Yalcouye could benefit from additional playing time in midfield if the Spaniard is forced to spend time on the sidelines.

Analysis: Chema was unable to continue beyond the 53rd minute against Liverpool after appearing to suffer an injury to his right foot. The Brighton midfielder was seen limping off the pitch in visible discomfort before speaking with the medical staff on the sidelines. The exact nature and severity of the issue remain unclear, with further assessment needed to determine whether he faces any time on the sidelines. Malick Yalcouye could benefit from additional playing time in Brighton's midfield if Andres is forced to miss upcoming fixtures.
