​Brighton sweat on star duo before Leicester clash

Brighton are concerned about the fitness of two key players ahead of their upcoming Premier League game with Leicester City.

The Seagulls want to kick off the return from the international break with a win, but they may have to do so without Leandro Trossard and Aaron Connolly.

The latter is experiencing a groin issue, which he picked up during their 3-1 loss against Manchester United before the break.

Albion were hoping that Trossard would be fit, but he appears to be struggling with a groin problem as well.

He did not play for Belgium against Russia, while he is out for their game on Tuesday against Cyprus as well.

Brighton will have to shuffle the pack if they are to stand a chance of stopping high flying Leicester in the league.
