Brighton and Ghana defender,Tariq Lamptey has suffered another injury setback just after his return from a lengthy lay-off.
The versatile player was making his comeback from injury in the match between Brighton and Nottingham Forest but had to be replaced by Joao Pedro just after the hour mark due to discomfort.

In the Brighton vs. Nottingham Forest match, Brighton took a first-half lead with goals from Evan Ferguson and Joao Pedro, cancelling out Anthony Elanga’s early strike for Nottingham Forest.
Lamptey’s replacement Joao Pedro converted from the spot to make it 3-1 before Morgan Gibbs White made it 3-2 for the host.
