Brighton have been dealt a major injury blow ahead of their Premier League clash with Leicester City on Saturday.

Albion’s Belgian winger Leandro Trossard was ruled out of Saturday’s emphatic 4-1 against Russia and will also miss Tuesday’s meeting with Cyprus in Brussels.

Trossard didn’t travel with the Red Devils' squad to St Petersburg, with reports that he’s picked up another groin injury, following a spell out earlier this season owing to a similar problem.

Potter is also sweating on the fitness of striker Aaron Connolly after he picked up a groin problem in the defeat at Manchester United.

Connolly has withdrawn from the Republic of Ireland squad to face Denmark in Dublin on Monday night, while the Foxes themselves will hope James Maddison shakes off a knock which makes him a doubt for England’s dead rubber in Kosovo this evening (Sunday).
