Roberto De Zerbi is unsure if Evan Ferguson will be fit to face Nottingham Forest on Wednesday night.
The Republic of Ireland striker missed Brighton's FA Cup semi-final clash with Manchester United due to an ankle injury he picked up against Chelsea last weekend, with the Seagulls losing 7-6 on penalties after a goalless 120 minutes of football at Wembley.
Brighton will need to pick themselves up quickly though as they look to secure European football for next season, although they could be without Ferguson and fellow striker Danny Welbeck for their clash away to Forest.

"I don't know if Evan can play on Wednesday, maybe not. Danny Welbeck I don't know if it's a big problem or not," De Zerbi said after the defeat to United. "But we will be ready to fight and to play with the ball and try to command the play in another game."
Brighton have a growing list of injury concerns which may have hampered their chances of reaching the FA Cup final, where they would have faced Manchester City on June 3.
The Albion have been without midfielder Adam Lallana for three months due to a hamstring issue and winger Jeremy Sarmiento has been sidelined with a metatarsal problem. Tariq Lamptey (knee) and Jakub Moder (ACL) are also out injured.
After Forest, the Seagulls host Wolves next Saturday as they look to secure European football next season. They host United at the Amex in the Premier League on May 4 to kickstart a month where they play seven times.
