The injured and absent list looks to be stretched wide for Brighton, as they prepare to meet Brentford, since seven could be missing. Brighton have to alter their line-up, as both Lewis Dunk and Mahmoud Dahoud get a day in the shade.

Tariq Lamptey, Ansu Fati, Adam Webster, Pervis Estupinan, Danny Welbeck, Solly March and Julio Enciso are all absent from the Brighton squad that faces Brentford at The American Express Community Stadium.

Worst-case scenario, Brentford have a total of six players out for their next match. Ivan Toney is suspended from the Brentford squad with too many penalty points to his name.

Names like Mathias Jensen, Nathan Collins, Aaron Hickey, Rico Henry and Joshua Dasilva most likely won't be deemed fit enough to play Brighton.
