Brighton are sweating on whether star man Anthony Knockaert will be fit to start the Premier League season against Manchester City next month.
Knockaert suffered slight ligament damage during a friendly against Fortuna Dusseldorf in Austria last week, leaving him with his ankle in a boot.
There were fears that it would leave last season's Championship Player of the Year out for a significant period of time.
The South Coast club are optimistic, however, and say it will be a three-week lay-off.
