Brighton & Hove Albion vs Derby County - Brighton hoping for Leroy Rosenior boost



Posted Saturday, April 30, 2016 by PA

Liam Rosenior is battling to be fit for Brighton's promotion showdown with Derby.

The experienced full-back was forced off by a back spasm in the latter stages of Saturday's 3-1 win at Charlton but hopes to be available.

Veteran striker Bobby Zamora has been struggling with a hip injury while defender Uwe Hunemeier (groin) and midfielder Solly March (knee) are still out.

The Seagulls are currently third and could head into the top two with a win as the promotion race heads towards an exciting climax.

Derby will assess Bradley Johnson, who has missed the last four matches with a knee injury he sustained during the 4-0 home victory over Hull on April 5, after he resumed training on Thursday.

Fellow midfielder Jeff Hendrick remains on course to be fit for the play-offs and he is expected to be back in training next week following his absence with a thigh problem.

The same can be said of goalkeeper Lee Grant as he nears a return to full fitness after undergoing groin surgery.

Former Brighton loanee Darren Bent scored from the bench last weekend and could be in line to start for Derby, who look likely to face Hull in the play-off semi-finals - barring an unlikely sequence of results.
