Brighton head coach Graham Potter has revealed that midfielder Solly March will be out for the next 12 weeks with a knee injury.
March went off midway through the second half at Liverpool on Wednesday and is set to undergo surgery.
Speaking after Brighton's 1-1 draw at Burnley on Saturday Potter said: "It's disappointing news for him and for us. He needs surgery on his knee so he will be out for 12 weeks.
"He's been really consistent for us this year, a good performer for us, so it's a blow."
March has played 23 times for the Seagulls in all competitions this season scoring three goals.
