Posted Monday, March 07, 2016 by PA

Brighton have no new injury problems ahead of the visit of Sheffield Wednesday.

Winger Kazenga LuaLua is close to returning after a knee problem and full-back Gaeten Bong is back in training following a thigh injury.

Skipper Gordon Greer is still awaiting a recall after recovering from a hamstring injury, with Connor Goldson currently being preferred at centre-half alongside Lewis Dunk.

Defender Uwe Hunemeier (groin) and midfielder Solly March (knee) remain unavailable.

Sheffield Wednesday head coach Carlos Carvalhal has no new injury or suspension issues following Saturday's home defeat to Rotherham.

But forward Fernando Forestieri is still unavailable as he sits out the final game of a two-match ban following his second dismissal of the season last week.

Carvalhal made four changes to his starting line-up at the weekend and the likes of defenders Liam Palmer and Joe Bennett, plus midfielder Sam Hutchinson are pushing for recalls.

The play-off chasing Owls, still without goalkeeper Joe Wildsmith (back), are bidding for their first league win in five matches.
