Brighton have suffered a huge injury blow in their quest for European football.

The Albion are set to be without Evan Ferguson for the remainder of their games.

The Irish striker has been ruled out for the rest of the season with an ankle injury.

Head coach Roberto De Zerbi told reporters: “He felt pain in the ankle a lot of time and he tried to move on, to play with pain.

“But at the end he preferred to stop and to think about next season."

Brighton will have other forwards available, including Joao Pedro, who has been in impressive form.
