Likely to be available Sunday
Rutter (undisclosed) is close to return and should be available for Sunday's clash against Coventry City, according to coach Fabian Hurzeler, per BBC Sussex Sport. "Should be close, hopefully he will be available unless something goes wrong."
Analysis: Rutter had already been ruled out of the recent match against Leeds United after failing a late fitness test, an absence that also cost him the match against Chelsea and the Conference League playoff against Tromso, with Charalampos Kostoulas continuing to lead the attack in his place. This encouraging update now points toward a potential return, though Brighton will continue assessing him closely heading into the match.
Ruled out Saturday
Rutter (undisclosed) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Leeds United.
Analysis: Rutter has been unable to pass his late fitness test after coach Fabian Hurzeler confirmed he was a late call, with the undisclosed issue that had already cost him the recent match against Chelsea and the Conference League playoff clash against Tromso extending his absence further. The final training session of the week proved insufficient to clear the forward for competitive action, leaving Charalampos Kostoulas to continue leading the attack in his place. His availability for the coming fixtures will be monitored closely as Brighton look to have their attacking options back in full as soon as possible.
