Starting during return

Bentancur (hamstring) is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash against Brighton.

Analysis: Bentancur has been handed an immediate return to the starting lineup after being cleared from injury and taking part in team training, with new manager Roberto De Zerbi showing enough faith to slot him straight back in despite his lengthy absence since Jan. 7. The midfielder had been a regular starter prior to the setback, having started 17 of his 20 appearances, and his return is a significant boost after a difficult stretch.

Option for Saturday

Bentancur (hamstring) is an option for Saturday's match against Brighton, according to manager Roberto De Zerbi. "Bentancur is available to play, I don't know if he starts the game or not."

Analysis: Bentancur was in team training yesterday and now appears to be an option again, cleared of an injury by his club. This is major news for the midfielder after a long layoff, last playing Jan. 7, a rough patch for the midfielder. He will now look to return to the starting role in the coming games, but he isn't guaranteed that role with a change of manager taking place twice since he last played, although he started in 17 of his 20 appearances ahead of his injury.
