Jose Izquierdo has been hit by another injury setback. It could be the last of his troubled time with Albion as he nears the end of his current contract. The Colombia winger has been absent from the matchday 20 for the last two games and that will not change at Arsenal on Sunday. Izquierdo had one outing as sub at Sheffield United after his two-year absence due to knee operations. But he has not appeared again since and there must now be major doubts over his future with the Seagulls.
Head coach Graham Potter said: “He won’t be available for the weekend. We are looking into it at the moment but it’s a problem with his quad.”
Joel Veltman and Davy Propper are again ruled out with Neal Maupay still suspended. But Lewis Dunk returns from a two-match ban.
Graham Potter said: “It’s good to have him back. He was in a fantastic moment of form so it’s great for him to be able to finish the season on the pitch. We’ve got a few missing. Whichever team we have, we will be competitive and will try our best.”
