Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler has some big calls to make ahead of their Premier League clash at Nottingham Forest.
Midfielder Carlos Baleba continues to struggle to find his best form, while £40m record signing Georginio is still searching for his first goal of the campaign.
Jack Hinshelwood, who scored on his return to first team action against Brentford last week, is pushing to start.
Hurzeler will also assess the fitness of Kaoru Mitoma as the Japan start remains hindered by an ankle injury. Mitoma has not featured since the 3-1 win at Chelsea back in Spetember.
Here's Brighton's strongest XI to face Nottingham Forest at the City Ground
