Brighton boss Graham Potter has tempered expectations that Michal Karbownik will instantly fill the void left by Solly March’s injury.

March suffered a knee injury in the 1-0 win at Liverpool last week and questions are being asked who will now play at left wing-back, with the 26-year-old expected to be out for around 12 weeks after undergoing surgery.
