Brighton begins life without Leandro Trossard with a trip to the King Power Stadium to face struggling Leicester City.
Albion accepted a £27 million offer from Arsenal for the Belgium winger on Thursday (January 19), with the deal all but done after the player agreed on personal conditions with the North London club.
Brossard had publicity declared he wanted to leave Albion last Friday (January 13), following his public falling out with manager Roberto De Zerbi.
Roberto De Zerbi’s side recently defeated FA and EFL Cup holders Liverpool 3-0 at the Amex Stadium. With a win tomorrow, the Seagulls could move up to the fifth place.
Despite a string of good performances in recent weeks, the Brighton manager said Levi Colwill had a minor injury and would be unlikely to start tomorrow’s game.
Jakub Moder is still several weeks from returning to action, as he continues his recovery from a knee injury sustained in April 2022.
Their opponents Leicester have been in dire form so far this season, winning just five of their 19 league games and losing four on the bounce since the World Cup.
Rodgers will be hoping that Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and James Maddison pass late fitness tests, although it seems it is a game too soon for Ayoze Perez who continues his recovery from a muscle issue.
