Impact Veltman has missed only one game since returning from his undisclosed injury in late December and has been an undisputed starter this season when fit. On Sunday, he contributed four clearances and one tackle, bringing his season totals to 51 clearances and 35 tackles in 16 Premier League appearances. He will look to maintain his defensive contributions against Everton on Saturday.

Impact Rutter was on the bench again Sunday but made a strong impact as a substitute, scoring his second consecutive Premier League goal off the bench. He now has four goals across his last three appearances in all competitions. It remains to be seen if his form will earn him a starting spot against Everton on Saturday.

Kaoru Mitoma - Scores, assists in victory Mitoma scored a goal and provided an assist while adding one shot (one on goal) and creating two chances in Sunday's 3-1 win against Manchester United.

Impact Mitoma scored his second goal in as many games for the second time this season, replicating a streak he achieved in late November. His 60th-minute strike marked his fifth Premier League goal of the campaign, leaving him two away from matching his career-high tally with Brighton from the 2022 season. Mitoma also recorded his third assist of the season by setting up Yankuba Minteh's opening goal. He will aim to extend his strong form on Saturday when Brighton hosts Everton.

Impact Minteh started for the second time in the last three matches across all competitions, contributing to three goals. He opened the scoring early against Manchester United on Sunday, assisted by Kaoru Mitoma. The duo combined again in the 60th minute, with Minteh setting up Kaoru Mitoma's goal. This was Minteh's third goal and second assist of the season in 17 appearances in the Premier League, during which he has created 13 chances. His next chance to feature will be against Everton on Saturday.

Brajan Gruda - Dealing with small issue Gruda missed a Thursday win over Ipswich with a small issue, according to manager Fabian Hurzeler.

Impact Gruda was dealing with a small issue and couldn't play during Thursday's clash. The attacking midfielder could be back for Sunday's trip to Manchester United, though that seems uncertain at best.

Georginio Rutter - Option off bench Rutter (hamstring) is on the bench for Thursday's trip to Ipswich.

Impact Rutter returns to the bench for Thursday's clash after overcoming a hamstring issue. It wasn't expected to be an overly serious issue, and as expected he's fit straight away. Rutter's availability off the bench is uncertain, and he may not be ready for a large role yet.

Yankuba Minteh - Back on bench Minteh (hamstring) is on the bench for Thursday's trip to Ipswich.

Impact Minteh is back on the bench for Thursday's clash despite being named a doubt pre-match. The forward may not be ready for any sort of significant minutes, but he is at least an option ahead of the mid-week clash.

Joao Pedro - Starting against Ipswich Pedro (ankle) is in the starting XI for Thursday's trip to Ipswich.

Impact Pedro was a true game-time call, and seemed to be doubtful to start, but apparently he passed the late fitness checks with flying colors. The striker is straight back in the starting XI and should be in for a significant role straight away.

Lewis Dunk - Returns to bench Dunk (calf) is on the bench for Thursday's trip to Ipswich.

Impact Dunk was deemed probable earlier in the week, and now as expected he's back on the bench. The defender is a rock-solid piece of the backline, though as for all center-backs he doesn't offer a whole lot going forward. Brighton have leaned heavily on Dunk whenever he's available.

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.

Georginio Rutter - Late call for Thursday's game Rutter (hamstring) picked up a minor issue after the FA Cup match and will be a late call for Thursday's clash against Ipswich Town, as confirmed by coach Fabian Hurzeler in a pres...

Impact Rutter has been a regular starter this season, contributing two goals and two assists, though his playing time has decreased since late December. He started in the FA Cup match against Norwich, scoring a brace, which could provide him with confidence for upcoming fixtures. However, he has picked up a minor hamstring injury after the game, leaving him doubtful for Thursday's game. If fit, he could likely start again. If not, Danny Welbeck is a potential replacement up front.

Impact Ferguson will miss his fifth consecutive match for Brighton due to an ankle injury sustained in late December. The Irish forward has not been a regular starter this season, primarily serving in a super sub role. His absence does not impact the starting XI, though he may have received more playing time if fit, given the injuries affecting Brighton's attacking options.

Mats Wieffer - Nearing a return Wieffer (undisclosed) is nearing a return but remains unlikely to feature against Ipswich Town on Thursday, according to coach Fabian Hurzeler during a press conference. "Mats Wief...

Impact Wieffer has not played a single minute since late December due to an undisclosed injury. He has not been a regular starter this season, so his absence is not currently affecting the starting squad.

Jack Hinshelwood - Unlikely for Ipswich Town Hinshelwood (knee) is training but remains unlikely to feature against Ipswich Town on Thursday, according to coach Fabian Hurzeler. "Jack [Hinshelwood] will train. I'm not sure if...

Impact Hinshelwood has been training for several weeks to regain his fitness, though his availability for Thursday's game remains uncertain. Until he returns and competes for a starting spot in one of his two potential positions, Pervis Estupinan will continue at left-back, with Carlos Baleba and Yasin Ayari in central midfield.

Joao Pedro - Late call for Thursday Pedro (ankle) is likely to be a late call for Thursday's game against Ipswich Town, according to coach Fabian Hurzeler in his press conference. "We have to see today if he will tra...

Impact Pedro will be assessed on Tuesday and Wednesday to determine if he can feature in Thursday's match. The team is cautious and will only include him if the risk is minimal. Pedro has been a key contributor this season, with five goals and five assists in 14 appearances, making his potential absence significant. If he is unable to recover in time, Georginio Rutter (if fit) or Danny Welbeck could step into the starting XI.

Lewis Dunk - Probable for Ipswich Town game Dunk (calf) is probable to feature in Thursday's clash Ipswich Town, coach Fabian Hurzeler said in the press conference. "I think Lewis will be back, he will train today (Tuesday)....

Impact Dunk missed Brighton's last two matches due to a calf injury. However, coach Hurzeler is optimistic about his availability for Thursday's match against Ipswich Town. Dunk has been a key contributor this season in the EPL, recording 43 clearances, 13 blocks, and helping secure three clean sheets in 15 appearances. If he is unable to start, Adam Webster is expected to take his place in central defense.

Yankuba Minteh - Picks up hamstring injury Minteh picked up a hamstring injury during Saturday's FA Cup clash with Norwich, according to Andy Naylor of The Athletic.

Impact Minteh suffered the hamstring injury during Saturday's match and is now going to be assessed ahead of a Thursday trip to Ipswich. The forward is a solid depth option for the right wing, and would be a frustrating loss in the midst of a major injury crisis throughout the team.
