Matt O'Riley - Training over break O'Riley (knee) was pictured in training over the international break.

Impact O'Riley hasn't been right the entire season, which is why he's struggled for consistent minutes in his first season with Brighton. While it looks like he should be available following the break, minutes will remain hard to come by, as Diego Gomez has been seeing recent starts with Yasin Ayari also above O'Riley in the midfield depth chart.

Impact Hinshelwood got the start at right-back for a second match in a row. The defender did well even with extremely limited chances, creating a pair of chances and taking a pair of shots. Hinshelwood should continue in the starting XI, though it's not clear if that will be at right-back or holding midfield.
