Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton, who has been battling illness, will be assessed after he was restricted to a substitute’s role during Thursday’s Europa Conference League win against AZ Alkmaar.

Palace manager Oliver Glasner said: “He is still feeling chest and it’s not completely free.

“Sometimes we need to cough it out and I hope that happens now.

“He is getting better and better but is it enough to start against Brighton, I’m not sure.”

Rio Cardines and Caleb Kporha remain out.

Brighton & Hove Albion head coach Fabian Hurzeler confirmed on Thursday that defender Joel Veltman is available after missing six weeks because of a calf injury.

Winger Kaoru Mitoma is “very close” to a return but remains a doubt, according to Hurzeler.

Brajan Gruda and James Milner remain sidelined.

Players out: Crystal Palace – Cardines, Kporha, Doucoure, Nketiah Brighton – Milner, Gruda, Hinshelwood, March, Webster

Doubts: Crystal Palace – Wharton Brighton – Mitoma

Key FPL notes:

  • Jean-Phillippe Mateta (£7.9m) scored his sixth goal of the campaign in gameweek 10, placing him joint second in the scorers’ charts. Since gameweek six, no player has had a higher expected goals (xG) tally than the Palace forward’s 5.33.

  • Palace defender Marc Guehi (£5.0m) is the third-highest scoring defender in FPL with 64 points. The England international has produced DefCon points in five of the last six gameweeks.

  • No player has produced more assists than the five of Brighton winger Yankuba Minteh (£6.0m), three of which have come in the last two gameweeks.
