The international break started sunny after a brilliant win against Newcastle on the weekend. But with already problems with injuries on the squad, especially with Julio Enciso, Roberto de Zerbi expects all 20 Albion players to return without issues. With that being said, here’s the list of 9 Brighton players to watch during the international break.

9 Brighton players to watch during the international break

 Lewis Dunk

This is the second Lewis Dunk call-up for Gareth Southgate’s squad, but he got injured just before the first one and got cut out. The defender will be available for the Euros Qualification matches against Ukraine on Saturday (9) and Scotland next Tuesday (12).

Billy Gilmour

Billy Gilmour became a big piece of the Scottish national team, especially during the Euro’s Qualifications. The youngster will be available for the matches against Cyprus on Friday (08) and England next Tuesday (12).

Pervis Estupinan

Just like at the World Cup, Pervis Estupinan got called up for the Equatorian Squad and is expected to play against  Argentina this Thursday (07) and Uruguay next Tuesday (12).
