Team news from Brighton | Key player out, new signing a doubt

Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler has confirmed that Jack Hinshelwood faces a spell on the sidelines - starting with our Premier League encounter on Saturday - and summer arrival Maxim De Cuyper is a doubt for the Amex.

Both players departed early in Brighton's 2-1 loss at Bournemouth last week - midfielder Hinshelwood with an ankle injury, defender De Cuyper after taking a knock.

"Unfortunately we had two injuries in the game against Bournemouth," reported Hurzeler in his pre-match press conference on Friday. "Jack will be out for a long time. He has a ligament injury in his ankle, it happened in a very unlucky way, but that's football.

"With Maxim, luckily it's not that bad so we have to see. He might be available for the game, it's not a big injury, it was just a hit and hopefully he will be back soon. Mats Wieffer is back and is an option, he is available. It's not perfect with Jack, but overall we are still in a good place."

Solly March and Adam Webster remain out with knee injuries.
