The Seagulls boss reveals the injury news as they travel to London for their sixth Premier League match, this time at Selhurst Park

Brighton & Hove Albion manager Graham Potter has delivered mixed injury news ahead of the team's Premier League fixture against Crystal Palace on Monday.

The Seagulls are waiting for updates on the services of Mali international Yves Bissouma and Zambia's Enock Mwepu.

Bissouma injured his knee during the team's 2-1 win against Leicester City while Mwepu suffered a groin injury in the warm-up of the Swansea battle in the Carabao Cup which they won 2-0.

Ahead of their trip to London, Potter has confirmed the injury situation in his team for the club's official website: "Hopefully Yves [Bissouma] can train on Saturday.

"Adam Webster won't be available on Monday. Alexis [Mac Allister] was just sore from a knee in the back, while with Enock [Mwepu] we will have to give him today and tomorrow to see where he is."

"Tariq [Lamptey] had a long time out. We're delighted with his 45 minutes against Swansea. He looked strong, but we need to be careful with him, he will be in the squad [to face Palace]."

Since joining Brighton from Red Bull Salzburg, Mwepu has managed 92 minutes of play and all of those coming in the games against Burnley, Watford, and Leicester.

On the other hand, Bissouma has raked in 439 minutes of play from five appearances, against Burnley, Watford, Everton, promoted side Brentford and Leicester.

The 25-year-old Bissouma has increasingly been linked with a move from the club and in a previous interview, former Arsenal player Ray Parlour explained why he would love to see him play for the North London club.

"I have said for a long time that Bissouma is a top-class player," Parlour told talkSPORT as quoted by the Daily Mail.

"I would love to see him at Arsenal, I said that in the transfer window: the one player I would like to see is Bissouma.

"I think he has got everything. He's efficient on the ball, he can put his foot in as well, he can pass. He probably could score a few more goals I should imagine, but he's not in the position to score goals. He is the one that is going to keep everything ticking."
