Yankuba Minteh - Flurry of service off the bench Minteh recorded eight crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Wednesday's 1-0 defeat to Arsenal.

Impact Minteh was brought on to add some flair to the Brighton attack and unfortunately, most of his crosses couldn't find a teammate. He should have more luck against Sunderland as the side has started to fade a bit of late, though his poor display against Arsenal might translate to less playing time.

Ferdi Kadioglu - Poor in service Kadioglu registered six crosses (zero accurate) and three clearances in Wednesday's 1-0 loss against Arsenal. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 82nd minute.

Impact Kadioglu didn't have a single accurate cross on the day and he didn't contribute much else offensively. He should be able to rectify that against Sunderland, a team which started well defensively but has given up nine goals over its last five EPL games.

Bart Verbruggen - Concedes game's only goal Verbruggen had one save and allowed one goal in Wednesday's 1-0 defeat to Arsenal.

Impact Verbruggen didn't stop much but also didn't have much to stop, as Arsenal's attack was largely muted outside of the lone goal. The goalkeeper is likely to have a similar outing agains a Sunderland side which is average about one goal per game on the season in EPL play.

Lewis Dunk - Sidelined as precaution Dunk was sidelined for Wednesday's 1-0 defeat against Arsenal as a precaution due to ongoing knee problems, according to coach Fabian Hurzeler, per The Argus.

Impact Dunk has been managing an ongoing knee issue and was precautionarily held out of Wednesday's loss to the Gunners to give him time to rest and recover. The defender's problem appears minor and shouldn't sideline him for long, especially with roughly 10 days before the next match against Sunderland, giving him ample time to get back to full fitness. That said, if he were to miss any time, Olivier Boscagli would likely be the main beneficiary with an uptick in playing time for the Seagulls.

Solly March - Misses due to muscle issue March (muscular) missed Wednesday's 1-0 defeat against Arsenal due to a minor issue but will be back available for the next game, according to coach Fabian Hurzeler, per The Argus....

Impact March picked up a minor muscle issue during his four-minute cameo in his return from injury against Nottingham Forest on Sunday, but the attacking midfielder is expected to recover in time for the next game against Sunderland on March. 14. This is great news for the Seagulls, as he could provide a quality attacking spark off the bench if he remains fit.

Kaoru Mitoma - Suffers minor ankle injury Mitoma suffered a minor ankle injury and was forced off at halftime during Wednesday's 1-0 defeat against Arsenal, according to coach Fabian Hurzeler, per The Argus. "He couldn't c...

Impact Mitoma will be evaluated over the next few hours after picking up a minor ankle injury during Wednesday's loss to Arsenal. The Japanese winger's status is worth monitoring closely since coach Fabian Hurzeler described it as minor, but Mitoma has already dealt with ankle problems this season, including one that kept him sidelined for two months earlier in the campaign. Yankuba Minteh would likely step back into the starting XI if Mitoma ends up missing time while recovering.

Lewis Dunk - Missing with minor knee injury Dunk is out for Wednesday's match against Arsenal due to a minor knee injury, according to manager Fabian Hurzeler, per Danny Jamieson of TnT Sports.

Impact Dunk has missed the team sheet Wednesday as the club takes the field, with the defender out due to a minor knee injury. Unfortunately for the club, they now go on without a starting defender, only his fourth missed start all season. Oliver Boscagli starts in his place, hopefully with a quick turnaround for Dunk.

Impact Milner logged back-to-back Premier League starts for the first time since August 2024 and could be in line for a breather in Wednesday's showdown against Arsenal as the staff manages his workload. The veteran remains a trusted presence, but he is likely to shift back into a rotational role moving forward with Yasin Ayari (shoulder) on the verge of returning to the match squad, which will tighten the competition in midfield.

MARCH 3 • ROTOWIRE

Yasin Ayari - Likely available Wednesday Ayari (shoulder) should be an option for Wednesday's clash against Arsenal, according to coach Fabian Hurzeler, per The Argus. "I am quite confident he will be an option tomorrow."

Impact Ayari has missed the last five matches with a shoulder injury but returned to full-contact training and is trending toward being available for Wednesday's showdown against Arsenal. Barring any setbacks before kickoff, the midfielder should be back in the matchday squad and likely ease in off the bench after a month on the sidelines. From there, he is expected to work his way back into his regular starting role in the heart of the Seagulls' midfield once he regains full match fitness.

Impact March made the trip with the squad last week but didn't crack the final roster as he continues to ramp up his fitness after a lengthy spell on the sidelines. The attacking midfielder is progressing well in training and is trending toward a potential return to the matchday squad for Sunday's clash against Nottingham Forest if the staff feels he's ready to contribute off the bench. Once he's back at full speed, he's expected to slide back into a rotational role for the Seagulls.

Yasin Ayari - Expected to train Thursday Ayari (shoulder) is expected to train Thursday for the first time and remains a doubt for Sunday's clash against Nottingham Forest, coach Fabian Hurzeler said in the press conferen...

Impact Ayari has missed the last four matches with a shoulder injury, but the midfielder is on track to rejoin team training in Thursday's session for the first time since going down. That's an encouraging step forward for the Seagulls, though he still carries a question mark heading into Sunday's clash against Nottingham Forest. Ayari has been a steady presence in the middle of the park when healthy, so if he's forced to sit out again, Jack Hinshelwood would continue to see an uptick in minutes and responsibility.
