All the latest team news for Brighton and Hove Albion ahead of their FA Cup quarter-final clash against Nottingham Forest
Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler confirmed they will be without full back Tariq Lamptey for “a long time” ahead of the FA Cup quarter-final against Nottingham Forest.
Lamptey, 24, missed the two matches prior to the international break against Fulham and Manchester City with a foot injury and the Forest match will arrive too soon.
The former Chelsea man has been key at times for Brighton this term – especially as the Seagulls have suffered injuries to their other full backs Joel Veltman and Pervis Estupinan.
Lamptey started the previous two FA Cup matches against Chelsea and Newcastle.
It’s a problem for Brighton as Veltman is “still in rehab” and remains sidelined with own foot injury and take the right back spot to face Forest. Estupinan is also expected to start after his long haul international break with Ecuador.
Skipper Lewis Dunk is also expected to return after missing the last six matches with a rib injury. Midfielder Matt O’Riley is also available once more having recovered from his knee injury.
