Key Defender Joel Veltman is being assessed ahead of Brighton’s trip to Craven Cottage.

Veltman was forced off during the 1-0 win against Leeds at the Amex Stadium last Saturday with a neck injury and he is a doubt for he match against Fulham.

Midfielder Adam Lallana is also ruled out with a calf injury and is not expected to feature this side of the international break.

Potter said: "Adam Lallana's still not available and we're assessing Joel Veltman, who came off with some stiffness in his neck.

"He's better today, so we'll make a decision closer to the game.”

Attacker Jeremy Sarmiento remains out with a knee problem, while midfielder Jakub Moder is a long term casualty as he recovers from a serious ACL injury.

Brighton will hope to continue their fine form at Fulham, having secured 10 points from their first four matches of the new campaign.
