Brighton and Hove Albion continue to be hindered by numerous injuries ahead of Saturday's Premier League clash against Everton at the Amex Stadium.
The Seagulls are seventh in the league standings and another three points this weekend will keep Albion well and truly in the race for another top six finish.
Roberto De Zerbi's team will be full of confidence following their 5-0 triumph at Sheffield United last Sunday but Everton are always tricky opponents and they were boosted last Monday as their 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace moved them out of the drop zone.
The Seagulls do however have fitness concerns and here's a list of the walking wounded and their expected returns dates...
