Can't play full game
FBrighton & Hove Albion
January 23, 2026
Minteh is not fit to play a full game, coach Fabian Hurzeler said in the press conference, according to Derren Howard from the Sussex Express. "Yeah, that's for example one player we need to manage. We don't know if he's able to start or not start. He came back after a small issue so it's definitely someone we need to manage at the moment and therefore that's a good example what I meant, with the individual players who are not on the highest level and that's what we have to work on and we have to get them back on track."
ANALYSIS
Minteh still has to build his fitness following his return from his thigh injury and isn't yet fit to play the full 90 minutes. The forward will likely see some playing time off bench to allow him to gradually build on his fitness before claiming back his undisputed starter role for the Seagulls.

The Reds are doing their due diligence to sign the 21-year-old winger, who worked with Arne Slot at Feyenoord, and they feel he might be a potential long-term replacement for Mohamed Salah. Minteh has been one of the best players for Brighton in the 2025/26 season, so it's not surprising to see some of the big clubs showing interest in him.
