Brighton boss Roberto de Zerbi defended his team selection for their Carabao Cup defeat at Chelsea.
De Zerbi chose a youthful line-up as they were beaten 1-0 via Nicolas Jackson's winner for the hosts.
The Italian said, Okay, Buonanotte and Baleba (were born in) 2004.
Lamptey, it was his first game sincee the injury last season.
Dahoud and Mitoma couldn't play 90 minutes and then Saturday in Birmingham another 90 minutes.
In this moment I have to manage in a different way.
We have to adapt, we have to improve.
Young players have to progress quickly Buonanotte, Baleba - because in football we don't have time. I don't want to make any excuses.
It was the right first XI to win the game. I'm disappointed because this competition has finished and we came here to win the game.
