Brighton midfielder James Milner has spoken about teammate Carlos Baleba and his shaky start to the season, who has struggled for form following interest from Manchester United at the end of the summer transfer window.

The 21-year-old has started the season looking a shadow of himself, and this has led to him being substituted off at half-time on multiple occasions and even dropped from the starting XI against Bournemouth.
