Brighton & Hove Albion are set to be without five players for Thursday's Premier League clash with Fulham at Craven Cottage.
Solly March (knee), James Milner, Adam Webster (both hamstring), Ferdi Kadioglu (toe) and Jack Hinshelwood (knee) all remain sidelined with injuries, although the former is closing in on his long-awaited return after over 12 months out.
A "small issue" kept Joel Veltman out of the matchday squad for last Friday's 1-1 draw with Southampton, while Brajan Gruda was also absent through illness, but both players are back in training, while Kaoru Mitoma and Yasin Ayari have been passed fit to play by Fabian Hurzeler after sustaining knocks last time out.
Meanwhile, captain Lewis Dunk should be fit to return to the starting lineup after recovering from a calf problem to feature for the final 18 minutes plus stoppage time as a substitute against Southampton. The 33-year-old will likely replace Igor Julio at centre-back.
Carlos Baleba is available after serving a one-match suspension last time out and he is in contention to start in centre-midfield alongside either Ayari or Matt O'Riley.
The rest of Hurzeler's lineup could remain the same, with Joao Pedro partnering Danny Welbeck in attack as Mitoma and Georginio Rutter occupy the flanks.
Brighton & Hove Albion possible starting lineup: Verbruggen; Veltman, Van Hecke, Dunk, Estupinan; Baleba, O'Riley; Rutter, Pedro, Mitoma; Welbeck
