Igor - Done for season Igor (thigh) is out for the remainder of the season after undergoing hamstring surgery, according to manager Fabian Huzeler, per Tyrese King of the BBC.

Impact Igor has met an unfortunate fate, as the defender will head to the sidelines for the remainder of the season. This comes after he suffered a serious injury in their last league outing, as he will require hamstring surgery. He was already expected to miss a few months but this will keep him out for the remained of the campaign, ending his season starting in nine of his 12 appearances. He did see decent time when fit, so expect Jan Paul van Hecke and Lewis Dunk to see even more time in the center of the defense now that Igor is out.

Diego Gomez - Option to face Ipswich Gomez is an option for Thursday's match against Ipswich Town, according to manager Fabian Hurzeler. "He is an option."

Impact Gomez is set to feature Thursday, as the midfielder is finally an option after making his move from Miami and taking his Holiday. That said, he should be in the selection, hopeful to see minutes in his team sheet debut for the Seagulls. He will likely only see a spot on the bench with his new club, having to earn his spot after a large step-up in competition, moving from MLS to Premier League play.

Yankuba Minteh - Uncertain for Ipswich Town Minteh (hamstring) sustained a minor hamstring injury following the FA Cup match against Norwich and is uncertain for Thursday's match against Ipswich Town, as confirmed by coach F...

Impact Minteh began the season as a starter but has since transitioned to a super-sub role, coming on late to impact games. He started in the FA Cup match against Norwich, providing an assist for one of Georginio Rutter's goals. This was his second assist of the season across all competitions, having also scored twice in 16 appearances. The minor issue following the FA Cup game comes at a bad time, as he was expected to start as the right winger against Ipswich Town. If he is unable to recover in time and be the starter, Brajan Gruda could step in on the right flank.
