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
