Brighton's hopes of avoiding relegation to League Two have been dealt a blow after it was confirmed that Nicky Forster and Glenn Murray will miss Saturday's visit to MK Dons.

Forster, who has scored 15 goals so far this season, faces exploratory surgery on a knee problem after a scan proved inconclusive.

He sustained the injury in training last Friday and missed the goalless draw at home to Tranmere Rovers.

Murray suffered a stomach muscle injury during the stalemate and had to be replaced after 70 minutes on his comeback following hernia surgery.
