Albion expect to have Florin Andone and Pascal Gross back from injury when they resume their fight for Premier League survival against Southampton at the Amex at the end of the month.
Andone misses the FA Cup quarter-final at Millwall tomorrow after aggravating a thigh problem in the warm-up at Crystal Palace, where he was supposed to start.
Gross was ruled out of the Palace win and the home victory over Huddersfield the week before by a hamstring problem.
Boss Chris Hughton told The Argus: "We are hopeful he (Andone) will be available for the Southampton game. Sunday has come around a little bit too quick.
"It wasn't as bad as we thought. He did feel his thigh. He had a problem at the start of the season with a thigh strain and I think all he has done is stretch a little bit of the scar tissue around it, so it's not bad. We are confident he will be fit for Southampton.
"The aim for Pascal as well is Southampton. That's our hope."
