Roberto De Zerbi will miss Brighton’s Premier League clash against Tottenham on Saturday after undergoing dental surgery in Italy.
The 44-year-old was due to serve a touchline ban after he was shown a third yellow of the season during Brighton’s 4-1 win over Crystal Palace last weekend.
However, De Zerbi will not be at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday afternoon as he continues his recovery from what has been described as ‘very invasive dental surgery’.
‘Roberto is not happy,’ Brighton first-team coach Andrea Maldera said.
‘I spoke with him yesterday morning, he wants to stay with the team. He isn?t here physically but he is with his personality.

‘The players have a big responsibility. We hope today they play for him.’
It’s understood that De Zerbi will be watching the game live and will have contact with his coaching staff.
