Three shots in return
Gomez generated three shots (zero on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Sunday's 1-0 defeat against Leeds United.
Analysis: Gomez, who missed the last three matches due to a knee injury, made his return to the pitch Sunday when he replaced Joel Veltman in the 65th minute. He took three shots in his 25 minutes off the bench, but failed to put any of them on target. He may be able to return to the starting XI in Sunday's season finale versus Manchester United.
Option off bench
Gomez (knee) is on the bench for Sunday's clash against Leeds United.
Analysis: Gomez made a faster-than-expected return from his knee injury, with manager Fabian Hurzeler confirming he would definitely be an option after the playmaker had been targeting the season finale against Manchester United on May 24 as his return date. Brighton opted to ease him back carefully with a bench role rather than throwing him straight into the starting lineup given the type of injury, with his availability ahead of schedule a welcome boost for the final stretch of the campaign. He has started 25 of his 30 Premier League appearances this season, tallying five goals and one assist, and his return strengthens his case for a spot in Paraguay's squad for the 2026 World Cup.
