Premier
OUT
Injury Knee
Est. Return 5/17/2026
Will play again this season
Gomez (knee) is expected to return before the end of the season but is not yet ready to feature, according to coach Fabian Hurzeler, per The Argus.
ANALYSIS
Gomez had been given an encouraging initial diagnosis after being forced off during the draw against Tottenham, and the confirmation that he will play again this season is a positive sign for both Brighton and Paraguay ahead of the World Cup. The forward will continue to be monitored on a week-to-week basis as the club manages his recovery carefully, with Kaoru Mitoma continuing to take on a larger role in the attack in the meantime. No specific return date has been given beyond the coming weeks, but the direction of his recovery is clearly pointing in the right direction.

Injury less serious than feared
Gomez (knee) underwent an initial scan and the results are more encouraging than initially feared, with coach Fabian Hurzeler confirming he will not be out for months and likely targeting a return in May, according to Andy Naylor of The Athletic. "It's not as bad as we expected. We have to go week to week. It's not an injury that will take him out for months. It is something with his knee. He's had a scan and we will have to rescan it in the next few days, but it is not as bad as some of us thought."

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could end up in England
Gomez is expected to leave Inter Miami and join Brighton during the transfer window, according to Sky Sports.
ANALYSIS
Gomez has been very vocal about his desire of moving to Europe, and Brighton could give him the chance to do so. The playmaker is actively talking with Brighton, and if he joins the Seagulls, he'd be teammates with another Paraguay international, Julio Enciso.
