Lamptey facing spell on sidelines

Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler has just delivered some worrying news about full-back Tariq Lamptey.

The former Chelsea man was due to return from suspension today but was not in the visitors squad at the Etihad Stadium.

Hurzeler's comments were vague. But they were not positive as he was asked why Lamptey and Solly March were missing.

"Tariq has a bigger issue," he said. "He had a bad moment in training and I can't say exactly how long he will be out."
