Dealing with minor muscle issue
Milner (undisclosed) is dealing with a minor muscle issue and isn''t available for Wednesday's clash against Arsenal in the Carabao Cup, coach Fabian Hurzeler said in the press conference, according to BBC.
ANALYSIS
Milner won't face Arsenal on Wednesday in the Carabao Cup and is a doubt for Saturday's clash against Leeds United due to a minor muscle issue. The veteran will likely be assessed in the coming days to determine the extent of the problem and how much time he will need to recover. Milner has been a bench option in his last four appearances, so his potential absence won't affect the starting XI.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could extend Brighton tenure
Milner could sign a new contract with Brighton in the summer, according to The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Brighton are in talks with the 39-year-old veteran English midfielder over a new deal with the club. Even though Milner is way past his prime years, Brighton rate him highly due to his positional versatility but also due to what he brings off the pitch. It wouldn't be surprising if Milner returns to Brighton for one more year before calling it a career.
