On August 24th, Brighton will face Manchester United in the second round of the Premier League. Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi spoke about injuries and Manchester United in a pre-match interview.
On the Injury List
De Zerbi: “Lamptey, Ferguson and Estupinan have resumed training this week, but we will assess their readiness to play against Manchester United based on their specific situations.”
On Mitoma’s Concussion
De Zerbi: “He is fine, he will be available to play.”
On Winning the First Round
De Zerbi: “It’s a good start, but we know every game is tough. We need to maintain this good momentum.”
On Potential Departures Before the Transfer Window Closes
De Zerbi: “The players know the team’s plan, our communication is very transparent and fair. We achieve success together. I cannot comment on any transfer rumors, but the players know our thoughts, so it’s up to them.”
On the Match Against Manchester United
De Zerbi: “Facing a team like Manchester United is a challenge, but we shouldn’t avoid it or fear them. We will face them with confidence.”
On the Role of Veterans in the Team
De Zerbi: “We often listen to their opinions, and we can use them to prepare for the Manchester United game. Also, Welbeck played for Manchester United, he knows them very well, he has more knowledge of the Manchester United players. If I don’t make good use of this, I would be a fool, haha.”
