Brighton are set to receive a significant boost as they gear up to face Nottingham Forest on November 25 in the Premier League.
Manager Roberto De Zerbi has hinted at the possible return of five key players who missed the club's last match against Sheffield United.
Evan Ferguson, Lewis Dunk, Tariq Lamptey, James Milner, and Pervis Estupinan were sidelined in the previous game but could make a comeback after the international break, adding depth and experience to the squad.
However, the Seagulls will have to navigate the Forest clash without the services of Mahmoud Dahoud. The midfielder received a red card in the last match against Sheffield United for a challenge on Ben Osborn and will be suspended for the upcoming fixture.
As the Albion look to secure valuable points, the potential return of key players could prove crucial in their quest for success at the City Ground.
“We lost Evan but in Amsterdam (against Ajax in the Europa League) he was not in perfect condition,” said the manager.
“I don’t know the time but I hope to find the injured players – Evan, Tariq Lamptey, Estupinan and Lewis Dunk – after the break.
“When we start the training, I hope and I think we can find them on the pitch.”
