Brighton and Hove Albion head coach Fabian Hurzeler has confirmed that Tariq Lamptey will be available for selection in their English Premier League tie against Manchester City on Saturday, March 15.
Lamptey had missed Brighton's previous league game due to a suspension, but his return is a significant boost for the Seagulls, who are seeking 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 games, despite often playing out of position on the left side.
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 set to miss the qualifiers.
Ghana's Black Stars are scheduled to face Chad and Madagascar on March 21 and 24, respectively, as they seek to bounce back from their failure to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
