BrightonProvides assist
Hinshelwood assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and one corner in Saturday's 2-1 win against Liverpool.
Analysis: Hinshelwood added an assist during Saturday's clash, a nice goal contribution for the midfielder. He's lined up in attacking midfield in the last four matches, but he is more defensively minded generally. Hinshelwood has one goal and three assists in 20 appearances to this point in the season.
Inks contract extension
Hinshelwood signed a contract extension with Brighton until 2029, the club announced.
Analysis: Hinshelwood came through the club's academy after joining at eight years old and made his first-team debut in 2023. The midfielder has since made 70 appearances, contributing nine goals and six assists while featuring in several midfield roles and occasionally at full-back.
Assists winner in 2-1 win
Hinshelwood assisted once to go with two shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-1 victory against Nottingham Forest.
Analysis: Hinshelwood assisted Danny Welbeck to put Brighton 2-1 ahead before the match ended in this result. This was his second assist of the season and has created at least one chance in each of his last four starts. He has also taken at least two shots in his last three Premier League matches.
Unlucky own goal in loss
Hinshelwood recorded an own goal, three shots (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Wednesday's 1-0 loss versus Aston Villa.
Analysis: Hinshelwood was saddled with an own goal Wednesday as an Aston Villa headed attempt at goal deflected from his upper body into the far corner of the net in Brighton's 1-0 road defeat. The midfielder led the team with three shot attempts (zero on goal) across his 90 minutes of play. The appearance marks Hinshelwood's first in the starting XI since Brighton's draw in January versus Bournemouth.
Clears illness
Hinshelwood (illness) is back available for Sunday's clash against Crystal Palace, coach Fabian Hurzeler said in the press conference, according to Andy Naylor from The Athletic.
Analysis: Hinshelwood missed the last match against Everton due to illness but could be cleared this week, as he is back available for Sunday's clash against the Eagles. That's a big boost for the Seagulls, as he could be in line for an immediate return to the starting XI with Yasin Ayari (shoulder) ruled out for the match.
Misses due to illness
Hinshelwood missed Saturday's 1-1 draw against Everton due to illness, coach Fabian Hurzeler said in a press conference, according to Andy Naylor from The Athletic.
Analysis: Hinshelwood wasn't available for Saturday's 1-1 draw against the Toffees since he is dealing with an illness. The versatile midfielder didn't start the last game against Fulham and couldn't feature for a second straight clash, letting Yasin Ayari getting an increased role for the Seagulls.
Assists in defeat
Hinshelwood assisted once to go with four shots (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to Aston Villa.
Analysis: Hinshelwood replaced the injured Stefanos Tzimas (knee) midway through the first half and quickly tilted the game in Brighton's favour. In the 29th minute he burst clear down the right and fired a low cross that deflected off Pau Torres and flew past Marco Bizot for the 2-0. The versatile midfielder was very active throughout the game, contributing to two season highs with four shots and three clearances before finding an assist for the second goal of Jan Paul van Hecke, that created hopes for a late comeback that did not happen. Hinshelwood is expected to get starting chances in upcoming fixtures given the numerous injuries in the Seagulls side.
Comeback winner off bench
Hinshelwood scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 win over Brentford.
Analysis: Hinshelwood came on as a second-half substitute after clearing the ankle injury that had sidelined him since mid-September and delivered the 84th-minute winner, volleying in after Yankuba Minteh's shot was only partially cleared. The strike on his return from injury capped a storybook outing in front of the home crowd. Beyond the goal he added energy in midfield and helped Brighton keep Brentford penned back, contributing one tackle and creating one chance as well.
Finds bench spot
Hinshelwood (ankle) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Brentford.
Analysis: Hinshelwood has recovered from an ankle injury and will be part of the match squad for the first time since September. The defensive midfielder was expected to take a place on the bench on Saturday against the Bees and it is confirmed, as he continues to work toward full match sharpness. His return provides extra depth in the midfield after a lengthy absence.
Should return to bench
Hinshelwood (ankle) is expected to return to a bench role for Saturday's clash against Brentford, coach Fabian Hurzeler said in the press conference, according to Johnny Cantor.
Analysis: Hinshelwood has recovered from an ankle injury and will be part of the match squad for the first time since September. The defensive midfielder is expected to return to a bench role on Saturday against the Bees.
Training individually
Hinshelwood (ankle) was training individually Saturday, according to his club.
Analysis: Hinshelwood is working on his return from a knee injury and appears to be just a few steps away from a return, training individually this week. He will likely work to train with his teammates in the next week, hoping to be an option when facing Brentford on Nov. 22. He started in two of the three games he has been available for this campaign, set to see decent time in the midfield once fit.
Working towards return
Hinshelwood (ankle) is still not an option but is nearing a return, according to his club.
Analysis: Hinshelwood is still recovering fitness from his ankle injury and is not yet an option, missing since early September. However, he is nearing a return to action and is likely in need of just a few more weeks of training and recovery. He will likely eye a return following the international break, with a possible return when facing Brentford on Nov. 22.
Hoping for return following break
Hinshelwood (ankle) is eyeing a return following the international break, according to manager Fabien Hurzeler. "Jack is progressing well, and hopefully we will see him soon after the international break."
Analysis: Hinshelwood has been sidelined for just around three weeks now and will miss further time, but could see a return soon, potentially after the two-week international break. That said, the midfielder will hope he can recover during the downtime, potentially seeing the field to end October against Manchester United on Oct. 25, but more likely needing to wait until Nov. 1 against Leeds United. He was seeing a starting role when fit and will hope that spot is available upon his return.
Set for sidelines
Hinshelwood (ankle) is set to miss between six and eight weeks on the sidelines due to injury, coach Fabian Hurzeler confirmed in the press conference, according to Andy Naylor from The Athletic.
Analysis: Hinshelwood suffered right ankle ligament damage in Saturday's clash against Bournemouth and will be sidelined for six to eight weeks. He had started the last two games, so his absence will need to be covered in the starting lineup, with Carlos Baleba and Yasin Ayari likely pairing in midfield for the upcoming fixtures.
Serious injury feared
Hinshelwood (ankle) is thought to have suffered a serious injury but is still awaiting his scans, according to manager Fabian Hurzeler, per the Brighton Base. "I think it is. I'm not a doctor, so we have to wait for the scan."
Analysis: Hinshelwood went down in Saturday's loss and is now fearing a decent absence, with the midfielder feared to have suffered a major injury. However, he still hasn't received his scans and is awaiting further testing, with the final decision yet to be made. He has started in their past two games, so he will hope for the best news possible, although it does appear he is set for a chunk of time on the sidelines.
Suffers early injury
Hinshelwood left Saturday's game against Bournemouth with a right ankle injury in the first half, Andy Naylor reports.
Analysis: Hinshelwood suffered the injury in the early stages of the first half after attempting a tackle on Evanilson, and he had to be helped off the field. Yasin Ayari took his place in midfield and is likely to take his place in the lineup if Hinshelwood is forced to miss time.
Option against Everton
Hinshelwood (undisclosed) will be an option for Sunday's clash against Everton, according to manager Fabian Hurzeler. "Jack trained fully so far [this week], so he will be an option."
Analysis: Hinshelwood missed the season opener against Fulham on Saturday due to injury but has trained this week and is now an option to face Everton on Sunday. Given a couple weeks out, he probably won't be rushed back into the XI, but once ready, he figures to fight for time somewhere on the pitch given his versatility.
