Ghana defender Tariq Lamptey has suffered another injury setback
Ghana defender Tariq Lamptey has suffered another injury setback, casting doubt over his involvement in the upcoming four-nation tournament in London, where the Black Stars are set to face Trinidad & Tobago, Nigeria, and Jamaica.
The 24-year-old was absent from Brighton & Hove Albion’s squad for their 3-2 win over Liverpool on Monday, the club’s final home fixture of the season.
Lamptey had started in their previous match against Wolves but was forced off with a knee injury, just weeks after returning from a foot problem.
His latest setback further clouds his future at Brighton, with his contract expiring this summer and little indication of renewal talks.
The right-back, who has struggled with persistent injuries, has fallen down the pecking order under Roberto De Zerbi, behind Joel Veltman.
Lamptey was previously linked with a move to Ajax during the January transfer window, while Everton are also reportedly monitoring his situation.
With the Black Stars assembling in London for friendly matches on May 28 and June 3 (not June 31, which is not a valid date), his fitness remains a major concern for Otto Addo’s technical team.
