Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has welcomed Andreas Christensen back to training.
The defender has missed the past three matches with a muscle injury. Tuchel reported the Dane had completed Sunday's session and could feature against the Brighton. Mateo Kovacic, however, remains sidelined.
"I expect Andreas to be back and to be available," said Tuchel. "He did a very good training session yesterday and I hope this will continue today.
"With Thiago it's a bit different, not because of injury but maybe because of acute overload after his injury with the two games. He's not injured but we have to see if it makes sense that he starts again.
"I think and I hope that it's only Kova we have out with injury."
