Brighton will be without Dean Hammond when they travel to manager Mark McGhee's former club Wolves.

The young midfielder will miss the final two games through suspension following his sending-off towards the end of Monday's defeat by Sheffield Wednesday which sealed Albion's relegation.

Veteran defender Guy Butters is a doubt after limping out of the same game, so Adam Hinshelwood is poised to return at centre-half after shaking off a shoulder injury.

Midfielder Charlie Oatway and striker Jake Robinson (both ankle) remain long-term casualties.

Utility man Jackie McNamara could make his first-team comeback from cruciate knee ligament injury.

The Scot has been missing from senior action since suffering the injury on the training ground back in September.

But after reporting no reaction following a 90-minute reserve team appearance this week, McNamara could play a part against the Seagulls when Wanderers will be further boosted by the return of striker Kenny Miller from a two-game suspension.

Denes Rosa completed 60 minutes for the second string after recovering from a groin injury although the game is likely to come too soon for the Hungarian while Paul Ince and Darren Anderton have been ruled out too, this time by hamstring problems.

Jody Craddock and Mark Davies are back from illness but Mark Clyde has yet to recover from a partially dislocated jaw and Seyi-George Olofinjana continues to receive treatment for a back problem.

George Ndah and Gabor Gypes also remain on the casualty list thanks to long-term knee injuries.
