Tariq Lamptey to miss Brighton's EPL opener against Everton

Ghanaian defender Tariq Lamptey will miss Brighton & Hove Albion's opening Premier League match against Everton on Saturday due to a lingering injury.

Although Lamptey returned to training this week, new manager Fabian Hurzeler confirmed he won't be fit for the season opener.

Lamptey is expected to be match-ready for Ghana's AFCON qualifiers in September.
