Latest News: Graham Potter revealed that Tariq Lamptey (knock/groin) has been receiving treatment since being forced off in Gameweek 2 but added that the teenage defender had trained as of Thursday, saying that there would hopefully be "no further problems for him". With Yves Bissouma suspended and Dale Stephens departing for Burnley, Potter has a defensive midfielder-shaped void to fill in the middle of the park ahead of the visit of Manchester United. While not a like-for-like replacement, Davy Propper is the one senior option Potter has to call upon from his pool of players and the Dutchman could well come into the starting XI alongside Steven Alzate. Propper's pre-season had been disrupted by an Achilles injury, however, and his first-team involvement has so far been limited to EFL Cup action. The Netherlands international was handed 90 minutes in midweek against Preston, a match that youngster Jayson Molumby - another possible Bissouma replacement - missed out on. Potter said that Molumby's absence was "just precautionary for the weekend" but in his pre-match press conference added that "people have put two and two together a little bit" in assuming he would start. Molumby indeed hasn't played a minute of Premier League football in his career but in the form of Lamptey, Alzate and Aaron Connolly, Potter does have previous for throwing youngsters into the deep end. Connolly could be the fall guy if his manager decides to help his Bissouma-less midfield by reinstating the fit-again Adam Lallana, who was rested on Wednesday while the likes of Pascal Gross, Alireza Jahanbakhsh and Alexis Mac Allister were given extended run-outs. Joel Veltman and Dan Burn also featured in that midweek game and could be handed a first Premier League start of the campaign if Ben White is moved to a defensive midfield role, with the stopper having previously filled in their while on loan at Leeds.
