Back available after illness

De Cuyper (illness) is back available for Saturday's clash against Fulham after recovering from his illness, coach Fabian Hurzeler said in the press conference, according to Andy Naylor from The Athletic.

Analysis: De Cuyper missed the last two games across all competitions due to illness but has now fully recovered, as he is back in contention for Saturday's clash against the Cottagers. De Cuyper had been a regular starter for the Seagulls in recent weeks prior to his absence and should claim back a similar role moving forward, either in defense or on the wing.

Dealing with illness

De Cuyper didn't play Monday against Bournemouth due to illness, Andy Naylor of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: De Cuyper had failed to start in only one of the previous five EPL matches before being excluded from the squad against the Cherries. The wide player is now questionable for the upcoming visit to Fulham, but it's unclear if he'll be ready to play significant minutes. Ferdi Kadioglu could continue to feature at left-back in case of an extended absence for De Cuyper.
