Getafe
Christantus Uche (ACL) and Juanmi (knee) are out until the new year, and Zaid Romero, who has missed almost a month with a muscle injury, could return, Bordalás said. Bordalás added that Getafe can only rotate so much, and that Brighton’s squad is deep enough for three starting XIs of similar standard. Changes are expected from the side that beat Sevilla, with Borja Mayoral among those set to come in.

Ferdi Kadıoğlu (hip), Pascal Struijk (thigh) and Femi Azeez (thigh) are unavailable, Hürzeler confirmed.

Jack Hinshelwood and Georginio Rutter are among those expected to come in.
