Brighton vs Wolves early team news: Four out and two doubts
Brighton vs Wolves in the Premier League from the Amex Stadium - Saturday, 3pm
Brighton continue their battle for European qualification this Saturday as they welcome relegated Wolves to the Amex Stadium.
A 3-1 loss at Newcastle was a set back for the Seagulls but with just three matches of the Premier League campaign to go, Fabian Hurzeler's eighth placed men remain very much in the mix.
After Newcastle, all the talk from the Brighton camp was about "bouncing back" quickly and they will need to as Bournemouth, Brentford, Chelsea, Everton and Fulham are challenging for the European spots.
Hurzeler - who is set to sign a new long-term contract with Brighton - does though have a few injury issue to contend with. Mats Wieffer is the latest concern as the Dutch international was forced off at St James Park with an ankle problem. Here's the latest news from the Seagulls camp.
Brighton outs and doubts
Mats Wieffer - out: The Brighton midfielder turned full back is highly likely to miss this one. Hurzeler gave a gloomy assessment after the Newcastle loss. The £25m man had been managing an ankle issue since the win at Chelsea and it seems the match at Newcastle has made the problem worse. Further assessments will be made this week but I'll be surprised if the Dutchman is included.
Adam Webster - out: The experienced centre back is a long term absentee and continues his recovery from an ACL injury that he sustained in pre-season.
Stefanos Tzimas - out: The Greek striker is another with an ACL injury, which he picked up during the 3-2 home loss to Aston Villa earlier this term. Heis expected to return in pre-season.
Solly March - out: The winger briefly returned from long term knee issues but was then hit with various muscular issues. He has an outside chance of being involved against Wolves but very unlikely to be in the starting XI. A place in matchday is a possibility.
James Milner - doubt: The 40-year-old last featured in the 2-1 win against Liverpool and has since been sidelined with a muscular problem. he has missed Burnley, Tottenham, Chelsea and Newcastle. Last week Hurzeler said he was "close".
Diego Gomez - doubt: The Paraguay international suffered knee injury in the 2-2 draw at Tottenham and missed the Chelsea and Newcastle fixtures. His injury is not as bad as first feared and he was expected to train with the group this week. They missed him at Newcastle.
