All the latest team and injury news for Brighton and Hove Albion and across the Premier League

Brighton striker Charalampos Kostoulas is recovering well following a leg injury sustained during the international break.

The Greek striker required stitches to leg injury after taking a whack in the 2-1 win away to Serbia.

The 19-year-old was an unused substitute last night as Greece followed the Serbia win with an impressive 1-0 win against Jurgen Klopp's Germany in Augsberg.

Second half substitute Dimitrios Kourbelis netted the winner for Ivan Jovanovic's team.

Jovanovic, when asked about the injury to Kostoulas, said: “Babis had a knock, he had to have stitches.

“He’s a strong lad. Today we will practise and we will have more conclusions after practice depending on how he feels.

“When you win away from home there is a good mood and I expect it to remain.”

Kostoulas has emerged a key player for Brighton this season with four goals and three assists from eight appearances in all competitions.

Kostoulas capped a superb month with a goal and assist against Arsenal. The 19-year-old also scored in the win against Coventry and has been a pressing machine during September.

No forward has made more defensive contributions, ball recoveries or won possession in the final third than the forward.
