Option to face Liverpool
Baleba (undisclosed) is an option for Saturday's clash against Liverpool after missing the last game due to a minor issue, according to BBC Sussex Sport.
Analysis: Baleba sat out the Sunderland clash with a minor issue but is back in the mix for Saturday's showdown against Liverpool, just as coach Fabian Hurzeler hinted last week. He's been managing a series of muscular problems this season, so the staff could bring him along carefully rather than throwing him straight into a full workload. That said, this likely opens the door for James Milner to keep a bigger role in midfield until Baleba is fully back up to speed.
Early hook in loss
Carlos Baleba recorded one interception in Wednesday's 1-0 defeat against Aston Villa. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 2nd minute.
Analysis: Carlos Baleba was deemed unplayable Wednesday. The midfielder completed just four passes and was brandished a yellow card before being removed in favor of James Milner after just 22 minutes on the pitch. Carlos Baleba has started in four successive league fixtures, but that streak is in doubt as Brighton prepare to take on Liverpool on Saturday at Anfield.
