Milner (undisclosed) will miss Tuesday's clash against Chelsea as he continues his recovery from an undisclosed issue, according to coach Fabian Hurzeler, per Andy Naylor of The Athletic.
Analysis: Milner will miss a third consecutive fixture without any clarity on the nature of the problem, but the indication that he is getting closer to a return is an encouraging sign for Brighton. The experienced midfielder had been a regular starter before going down and his continued absence has forced Yasin Ayari to cover in the middle of the park, with a return around May 2 against Newcastle now shaping up as a realistic target if his progression continues without any setbacks.
Remains out, getting close
Milner (undisclosed) remains unavailable for Saturday's clash against Tottenham, according to coach Fabian Hurzeler, per The Argus. "He's getting close."
Analysis: Milner will miss a second consecutive fixture with an undisclosed issue but is getting closer, though the continued lack of detail on the nature of the problem is a concern for Brighton. The experienced midfielder had been a key fixture in the starting lineup before going down, and Yasin Ayari is expected to continue covering the middle of the park for the Seagulls during his absence.
