Danny Welbeck - Week-to-week decision Welbeck (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's match against West Ham, according to manager Fabian Hurzeler. "Danny is not in the best shape and we'll have to see from week to week...

Impact Welbeck will be a late call for Saturday's match, with the forward still battling his fitness after an injury. He appears to be a late call, likely needing to pass a fitness test ahead of the match to be an option. That said, he has been a regular starter, so he will hope to be fit and see the start. However, if he is left out, expect Georginio Rutter or Joao Pedro to start in his place.

Adam Webster - Back in training Webster (hamstring) is back on the training pitch, according to manager Fabian Huzeler. "Adam is back in training."

Impact For the first time since his injury, Webster has received a positive update: The defender is now training again. This is great news for the club, as it should leave him around a week away from a return after missing the club's past nine matches. He did start in the two games before his injury but has only started in two of his seven appearances on the team sheet, so he will likely see a bench spot in his return to play.

The midfielder will be happy to have only missed one game due to the injury, having already missed out eight times before.

He is a regular starter for the club, so this is bright news for the Seagulls. That said, he will look to get the start Saturday, earning the starting role in all 11 of his appearances this campaign.
