Brighton and Hove Albion manager Graham Potter is confident of welcoming Tariq Lamptey back in his set-up for Wednesday's Premier League clash with Fulham.
The 20-year-old missed the Seagulls' 3-0 defeat to Leicester City at the King Power stadium on Sunday.
Lamptey has become a key figure for Brighton this season following a January transfer from Chelsea.
"We will see, this one [Leicester City Premier League encounter] just probably came a bit too soon," Potter said, Tribalfootball reports.
"We just want to make sure he was fully recovered.
"He was feeling a bit of a sensation on his hamstring, so we decided to err on the side of caution because of the nature of it.
"But we are hopeful he will be back for Wednesday [away to Fulham]."
Lamptey has made 10 Premier League appearances, scored one and provided one assist for Brighton so far this season.
Born in Hillingdon to Ghanaian parents, the full-back, currently an England U21 star, remains eligible to switch international allegiance to Ghana.
