Fresh team news has been provided for Leeds United’s next game of the Premier League season at Brighton - for which three men are out and four more doubtful but with key men now back.
Daniel Farke’s Whites will be heading to the south coast for their tenth game of the campaign in a 3pm kick-off at the Amex against Fabian Hurzeler’s side on Saturday afternoon.
Brighton face a tight around for the fixture which will end a busy week following Saturday evening’s 4-2 defeat at Premier League hosts Manchester United and Wednesday night’s 2-0 defeat at Arsenal in the Carabao Cup.
It’s a different story for Leeds who have had a free midweek following last Friday night’s 2-1 win at home to West Ham United for which Farke had key men out.
Seagulls boss Hurzeler also had key men missing for last weekend’s trip to Old Trafford and also for the midweek cup tie against the Gunners.
Fresh team news has now emerged from both camps this week and here we run through the very latest injury news for both sides.

1. BACK: Willy Gnonto (but not to start)
Gnonto recovered from the calf issues he was having before the international break but then had minor hernia surgery during the break itself. Farke was hoping to have the Italian back for West Ham's visit but the Italian was not able to complete whole team training and failed to make the matchday squad. He has, though, now returned to training and Farke says he is available for this weekend but not as an option to start given his long lay off. A contender for the bench. | Getty Images
2. DOUBT: Kaoru Mitoma
Brighton's Japanese international attacking star Mitoma has now missed his side's last three games after a knock but is now back on the pitch and training. That said, Hurzeler has said there is only a small chance of any of his injury doubts returning - of which there are three of them. Of Mitoma, he said: "He's back on the pitch, he's training. I don't think that it's a big issue. And I think we could see him before the international break." | AFP via Getty Images
3. DOUBT: Brajan Gruda
German youth international attacking midfielder Gruda remains another Brighton doubt as he recovers from a knee injury. Hurzeler said: "The players who are still affected by small issues still might not be available. There are small chances, but I think that the squad from Arsenal will be the squad for tomorrow." | Getty Images
