Fabian Hurzeler handed potential injury boost ahead of Tottenham and Chelsea clashes
Tottenham vs Brighton in the Premier League at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - Saturday 5.30pm
Brighton winger Solly March will hope to be in contention to face Tottenham this weekend.
The experienced Albion winger has featured just once from the bench this season as a late substitute in the 2-1 home win against Nottingham Forest.
March, 31, has been plagued with knee issues for the past two seasons and then suffered a "small muscular issue" after his brief return against Forest.
He returned to the matchday squad last Saturday but was an unused substitute in the 2-0 win at Burnley.
March was pictured training this week ahead of the trip to Roberto De Zerbi's relegation-threatened Tottenham.
March was a key figure during De Zerbi's time at Brighton, where the winger played some of the best football of his career.
Under the Italian, March scored 10 goals and provided 11 assists from 43 appearances.
March was pictured training at full tilt this week ahead of the trip to the Tottenham Stadium.
Brighton are on a good run of form with five wins from their last six top flight outings. Fabian Hurzeler's Seagulls are ninth in the table and pushing for European qualification.
They have six matches of the season remaining, starting in north London this weekend. The Seagulls then have a quick turnaround as they face Chelsea at the Amex Stadium on Tuesday night.
Chelsea battle for Champions League
Chelsea boss Liam Rosenior admitted his team are running out of time in the race to qualify for the Champions League after a run of one Premier League win in seven.
They trail fifth-place Liverpool by four points with six games to go and if results go against them this weekend, they could see their top-five hopes effectively ended before the final month of the campaign.
“As the season goes on, the less games you have left, the more important the games become,” said Rosenior. “We have to take advantage of this moment. We’re running out of time.
“We need to show that initiative on Saturday and play on the front foot and make up those points, which is still definitely possible.
“If I look at each game, I think it’s just come down to loss of concentration of focus in a moment that then has snowballed into the rest of the performances.
“what we have to do is manage the margins of the game a little bit better.”
