Impact Wieffer missed the last seven games across all competitions for the Seagulls due to a toe injury, but he has been making strong progress and is closing in on a return to the match squad. That comeback could come as soon as Sunday's clash against the Eagles, as coach Fabian Hurzeler did not rule him out during his press conference. Wieffer was an undisputed starter at right-back prior to the setback and could regain a similar role with the Albion once fully fit.

Still without timeline Wieffer (toe) remains out for Monday's clash with Bournemouth, Chris Nightingale of Sky Sports reports.

Impact Wieffer may require more time to recover as he has been sidelined since Dec. 27, and there's little information about when he'll be back despite initial hopes that his injury would be a minor one. This blow will continue to leave Brighton without their top right-back option, so Joel Veltman may retain the starting job in upcoming contests.

The defender's next chance to feature will come against Manchester United on Sunday and his absence will force a change in the backline since he has been a regular starter for the Seagulls this season, with Joel Veltman to start in his spot on the right side of the defense.

Impact Wieffer is hitting the sidelines for at least another match, as the defender was dealt a toe injury that is enough to leave him out for Saturday's game.

The biggest question is whether Wieffer can make a quick turnaround, facing Manchester City in another match on Wednesday.
