Yankuba Minteh
21-Year-Old
Brighton & Hove Albion
Premier
OUT
Injury Thigh
Est. Return 1/11/2026
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Minteh had an impressive 2024/25 season given that he didn't have the hype of a major signing. Newcastle had to offload him last summer and that became the benefit of Brighton. He evolved to become a regular starter as the season progressed, finishing with double-digit goal contributions (six goals, four assists) while playing a significant role on either flank. He fits perfectly with Brighton's direct attacking style and played all but one match he was fit for, starting 13 league matches since February, a good sign for time heading into 2025/26.
Missing again
Minteh (thigh) is out for Wednesday's match against Manchester City.
ANALYSIS
Minteh is not an option and is still battling his thigh injury, missing a second match of action due to this injury. He will now eye a return this weekend in FA Cup action, although they may be cautious and wait until the Jan. 19 match against Bournemouth.
