Brighton & Hove Albion have been dealt further bad news on the injury front, with wingers Kaoru Mitoma and Simon Adingra both ruled out for at least four weeks.

Mitoma has an ankle injury while Adingra is sidelined with a hamstring issue, ruling the pair out of the Asian Cup and Africa Cup of Nations respectively. 

"We have more or less 10 injured players," said head coach Roberto De Zerbi. "We've lost Kaoru for around six weeks."

The pair join a lengthy injury list for Brighton including fellow wide man Solly March and attacking midfielders Ansu Fati and Julio Enciso. Defenders Joel Veltman, Adam Webster and Tariq Lamptey are also out.

But there is some good news for De Zerbi, with left-back Pervis Estupinan ready to return after an injury-disrupted season.

Brighton host Tottenham Hotspur on Thursday night hoping to end a run of three league matches without a win.

They then face trips to West Ham United and Luton Town in January, either side of a home encounter with Wolverhampton Wanderers.
