Brighton edges Ajax in Europa league victory amid mounting injury woes
Posted : 10 November 2023
Brighton & Hove Albion secured a significant 2-0 victory against Ajax, propelling them closer to the Europa League knockout phase. An early goal by Ansu Fati, followed by an assist to Simon Adingra, sealed their triumph in Amsterdam, marking their second consecutive 2-0 win over Ajax.
Manager Roberto de Zerbi expressed his satisfaction with the win in a post-match interview, emphasizing the importance of their style and the impressive execution in securing both goals. Their effective ball retrieval in high-pressure situations and the subsequent quick passes led to the opening goal, while the second showcased their ball retention skills and precise plays within the pitch.
Despite the celebratory victory, De Zerbi faces concerns about the team's injury list. Captain Lewis Dunk and Pervis Estupinan were both forced off the field due to injuries, leaving their availability for the upcoming Premier League clash against Sheffield United uncertain. Dunk suffered a groin injury, while Estupinan, returning from a previous absence, endured a new setback with a muscle injury.
The injury woes extend beyond Dunk and Estupinan, with midfielder James Milner also departing the field due to a knock. The absence of key players like Danny Welbeck, Solly March, and Tariq Lamptey further compounds the team's injury challenges, urging the management to swiftly find alternatives ahead of the critical fixture on Sunday.
