Brighton & Hove Albion manager Graham Potter has confirmed key defender Adam Webster will miss this weekend’s trip to Newcastle United. It was suggested that Webster had a chance of being available for the clash at St. James’ Park, however he has suffered setback in his recovery from a groin problem and now may not return until after the international break later this month.
Brighton have struggled in his absence in recent weeks - with the core of their back three from their successful first half of the season torn apart due to his injury and Dan Burn ’s Newcastle move. Potter is also expected to make a late decision on midfielder Adam Lallana, who missed last week’s 2-0 defeat against Aston Villa.
The 46-year-old confirmed that he is making ‘good progress’ and will train on Friday but is unclear whether he will be involved in the squad for the trip to the Northeast.
