Brighton and Hove Albion vs Newcastle United at the Amex Stadium this Saturday 3pm
Fabian Hurzeler confirmed another injury blow for Brighton ahead of Saturday's Premier league clash against Newcastle United.
The Seagulls, who are 12th in the Premier League, will be keen to kick-start their season following the international break against Eddie Howe’s 11th placed men.
But Hurzeler said he will be without Brajan Gruda who is struggling with a knee issue.
The Albion head coach said: "Unfortunately the players they don't come back 9from the international break) like we sent them.
