Breaking: Gary O’Neil   decision on dropping  Sam Johnstone for their latest Premier League Clash with Brighton & Hove Albion

Wolves make the long journey south on Saturday afternoon for their latest Premier League clash with Brighton & Hove Albion, and wolves.co.uk is here to provide a preview ahead of kick-off.

With no fresh injury concerns heading into the weekend,

or any players set to return from the treatment table – meaning the game comes too soon for Boubacar Traore who was back in the gym this week following his knee troubles,

the big topic of conversation when it comes to team selection

for Gary O’Neil this week has been around the goalkeeper position. With Sam Johnstone out injured for the visit of Manchester City

last weekend, Jose Sa returned between the sticks and produced an impressive performance

to keep out several on target efforts. O’Neil confirmed Johnstone has been training all week and although he said a decision will be made on who starts tomorrow, the head coach did tell the media on Friday afternoon that he’s ‘really clear on who is the best goalkeeper to start’ at Brighton.

Fabian Hurzeler gave a detailed update on his list

of injured players in his pre-match press conference on Thursday morning, with the Brighton boss ruling out several of his key players for the visit of Wolves on Saturday afternoon. The German revealed Adam Webster (thigh) will be out for the next two to three weeks, James Milner will also be absent having had a setback in his recovery from a thigh problem, while midfielder Matt O’Riley –

who signed from Celtic in the summer and is yet to make

his Premier League bow for Brighton – is also out this weekend. Solly March (knee) Joao Pedro (ankle/foot) and Yankuba Minteh are also out of Saturday’s match,

but Simon Adingra is expected to be back fit,

while top scorer Danny Welbeck faces a late fitness

test after the former England man went off with

a back injury after his winner against Newcastle United last weekend.
