Brighton & Hove Albion head coach Fabian Hürzeler has confirmed that Tariq Lamptey will be available for selection in their English Premier League clash against Manchester City on Saturday, March 15, 2025.
Lamptey missed Brighton’s previous league game due to suspension, but his return is a significant boost for the Seagulls as they aim to extend their winning streak to seven games.
The 24-year-old right-back has been impressive this season, registering two goals and two assists in 13 league appearances, despite often playing out of position on the left side.
However, Lamptey’s availability for Brighton raises questions about his injury-related absence from Ghana’s upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. He was among 12 players listed as injured and ruled out of the qualifiers.
Ghana’s Black Stars are set to face Chad and Madagascar on March 21 and 24, respectively, as they look to recover from their failure to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
