Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler has been speaking to the media before Tuesday's Premier League game against Chelsea at American Express Stadium (kick-off 20:00 BST).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
Diego Gomez, who went off injured against Tottenham, has a knee injury but it’s “positive news” in “that it’s not as bad as expected”. Hurzeler added: “It’s not a big injury and it’s not an injury that takes him out for months, but we have to be patient to see how it develops.”
Kaoru Mitoma, who was also subbed off on Saturday, had "minor issues" like cramp and is available for Tuesday's game.
James Milner remains sidelined but Hurzeler expects him to return before the end of the season.
Solly March had a "minor" setback in training and that is why he was missing from Saturday's squad and will not make the Chelsea game.
On Georginio Rutter: "He went through a very tough period where he suffered. He kept believing and fighting and now he's showed a great impact when he got on the pitch and got his reward with a goal."
Hurzeler said he has been "impressed by the character and resilience" of his players after working through a tough patch earlier in the season to close in on a European spot.
On being a point off Chelsea in sixth: "It's a position we should really embrace and we need to enjoy these moments and games because it's a great opportunity for us to grow."
He said they face the Blues "with great belief and confidence" following recent results, but are also "very humble" because they know the talent Liam Rosenior's side have.
On Chelsea: "They have enough individual quality to beat every team in the league. They are not on the best run but they play good football. We have to play intense again if you want to compete with them."
