Option to return
Wieffer (ankle) is an option to return for Sunday's season finale against Manchester United, according to coach Fabian Hurzeler, per Andy Naylor of The Athletic.
Analysis: Wieffer had been ruled out of the Leeds United fixture as he continued to manage an ankle issue, but coach Hurzeler's positive update is an encouraging sign heading into the final fixture of the campaign. The versatile midfielder has been one of Brighton's most important players this season with two goals, three assists, 71 clearances, 64 tackles and 20 chances created across 25 Premier League appearances, and getting him back for the Manchester United clash is a welcome boost for the Seagulls heading into the season finale.
Misses call Sunday
Wieffer (ankle) is ruled out for Sunday's clash against Leeds United.
Analysis: Wieffer has been unable to pass his fitness assessment despite manager Fabian Hurzeler expressing optimism about his availability after the right-back had been trending in the right direction following his failure to clear a late fitness test ahead of last weekend's fixture against Wolverhampton. Brighton will have to continue deploying Ferdi Kadioglu out of position at right-back, with the coach unable to restore his preferred defensive setup for the penultimate fixture of the season. Wieffer has started 22 of his 25 Premier League appearances this term, tallying two goals, three assists, 71 clearances, 64 tackles and 20 chances created, and his availability for the season finale will be monitored closely.
