Yankuba Minteh limps off as Fabian Hurzeler&#8217;s squad crisis worsens despite Roma win"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Brighton &amp; Hove Albion\u2019s final preparations for the new season were overshadowed by a significant injury scare involving star winger Minteh during their 3-0 friendly win over Roma. The Gambian international, who completed a \u00a330 million move from Newcastle in July 2024, sustained a right leg injury early in the second half following a heavy challenge with Roma captain Bryan Cristante. Minteh initially attempted to play on after receiving lengthy treatment, but soon collapsed to the turf in pain. The 22-year-old was ultimately helped off the pitch by medical staff with his head buried in his shirt.\n<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to the media shortly after the final whistle at the Amex Stadium, Hurzeler expressed his immediate concern regarding the winger&#8217;s condition. &#8216;Of course it\u2019s not a great sign when a player goes off, but we have to wait for the scan,&#8217; Hurzeler explained to reporters. &#8216;It seemed to be a hit (contact impact), not particularly in the ankle area but a little higher. We have to wait for how the pain continues.&#8217;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Brighton &amp; Hove Albion\u2019s final preparations for the new season were overshadowed by a significant injury scare involving&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":578950,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[57731,261751,252528,85,46,2619,60479,105,261750],"class_list":["post-578949","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-brighton-hove-albion","tag-brighton-hove-albion-vs-roma","tag-club-friendlies","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-premier-league","tag-roma","tag-sports","tag-y-minteh"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/578949","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=578949"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/578949\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/578950"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=578949"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=578949"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=578949"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
