Adam El-Abd will miss the next month of Brighton & Hove Albion's push for a play-off spot.

El-Abd out for four weeks with knee injury

Adam El-Abd will miss the next month of Brighton & Hove Albion's push for a play-off spot. The 23-year-old, who can play in defence or midfield, suffered a knee injury during Tuesday's 2-1 defeat at Huddersfield Town. El-Abd damaged medial ligaments at the Galpharm Stadium and is expected to be sidelined for at least four weeks. Brighton boss Dean Wilkins will now try to bring in short-term cover on loan after ruing the injury to El-Abd. "To lose Adam at this stage of the season is a major blow, particularly as he has been in exceptional form," Wilkins told the club's official website. "We will now do everything we can to bring someone in."
