Brighton boss Hughton bemoans Bissouma suspension

Chris Hughton has bemoaned Yves Bissouma's suspension for the FA Cup quarter-finals.

New rules state Bissouma will miss the quarter-final after he picked up his second yellow of the competition in Saturday's win over Derby.

Hughton told The Argus: "I must admit it wasn't one I thought of when he got booked. Sometimes you forget what the rules are.

"It's really disappointing for both parties. For him, because he has done really well in the competition and of course for us because it means it's a player that we won't have.

"And I think we've seen what a player he is and what he can bring to the team.

"For me it does feel harsh and it was a bit of a surprise when I was told at the end of the game."
