brighton-midfielder-suffers-hamstring-vrey-big-injury-in-arsenal-clash Arsenal weren’t the only ones to come away frustrated from Saturday’s fixture against Brighton, with James Milner picking up a hamstring injury. James Milner is reportedly set for a scan on a hamstring injury suffered against Arsenal this weekend, with the midfielder going down in the early stages of the first half. 38-year-old Milner was starting his third Premier League game in a row for Brighton, but he lasted just 17 minutes before being replaced by Yasin Ayari. Muscle issues have been a big issue for Milner in recent years, with the former Liverpool and Manchester City man missing 25 games during the 2023/24 campaign through injury. Milner’s last injury was in late January, and he didn’t return to action for the remainder of the season.
A similar length of absence this time around would see the Brighton man back in action around Christmas time, so he’ll hope the scans bring better news.
