"Maxim de Cuyper was withdrawn in the 24th minute of Brighton's defeat to Bournemouth last weekend, after suffering a knee injury. The defender has made a positive start to life on the south coast, but was unable to continue against The Cherries after crashing into the advertisement hoardings. Brighton, who have experienced a mixed start to the season so far, have shipped six goals in four league games and will be hopeful that their summer recruit isn't out for a sustained period."
"De Cuyper has started every Premier League match for the Seagulls to date, and has made the position his own following Pervis Estupinan's departure for Milan in the summer transfer window. The fullback joined Brighton from Club Brugge in July for a fee of around 17.5m, where he last season made 54 appearances and helped his old side reach the last 16 of the Champions League. Fabian Hurzeler will be hoping Maxim de Cuyper's injury isn't too serious."
"Whether de Cuyper will be fit to face Tottenham at the Amex this weekend remains to be seen, although according to Sussex World, his knee injury is not believed to be serious. Seagulls boss Fabian Hurzeler also lost Jack Hinshelwood to injury at Bournemouth, whilst defender Adam Webster is a longer-term absentee after suffering an ACL injury during pre-season training. Although the league is still very much in its infancy, victory against Spurs at the weekend could see Hurzeler's men jump into the top half of the table."
Maxim de Cuyper suffered a knee injury after colliding with advertisement hoardings and was withdrawn in the 24th minute of Brighton's defeat to Bournemouth. He has started every Premier League match this season and has taken over the left-back role following Pervis Estupinan's move to Milan. Brighton signed de Cuyper from Club Brugge in July for around £17.5m; he made 54 appearances last season and helped that side reach the Champions League last 16. The knee problem is not believed to be serious, but Jack Hinshelwood also picked up an injury and Adam Webster remains out long-term with an ACL injury. Brighton host Tottenham at the Amex on September 20.
