Brighton boss Graham Potter reveals two key doubts to face Leeds United as trio ruled out

Brighton & Hove Albion boss Graham Potter has two injury doubts going into this weekend's clash against Leeds United.

Former Liverpool and England midfielder Adam Lallana has been struggling with a calf problem and is set to be assessed tomorrow to see if he can play a part against Marcelo Bielsa's side on Saturday.

The 32-year-old has enjoyed a regular spot in the side in recent weeks following a groin issue that plagued him earlier in the campaign, starting six of the Seagulls last seven matches.

"Adam Lallana has a tight calf. Hopefully, he will train tomorrow," Potter said in his pre-match press conference.

"We will have to see how he is at training and make a decision after tomorrow's session."

Percy Tau has been struggling with a hamstring injury recently but could return.

"Nothing fresh from the weekend," Potter said when discussing his squad's fitness. "Percy Tau trained this week so he is back in contention."

Saturday's hosts will be without Tariq Lamptey and Solly March (hamstring and knee respectively) who are both sidelined for the rest of the season, while Florin Andone misses out with a hamstring issue.

Leeds begin the weekend sitting ninth in the Premier League table, eight places and 13 points ahead of the Seagulls, who left Elland Road with a 1-0 victory in January.

Bielsa has confirmed that Raphinha will miss out on the trip to the south coast, while Rodrigo is available again, although may not yet be rushed back into the starting line-up.

Adam Forshaw will again be absent, while skipper Liam Cooper serves the final match of his thee-match ban following his Manchester City red card.
