Chris Hughton says Brighton striker Glenn Murray is a doubt for Saturday's match against Burnley with a shoulder injury

Brighton manager Chris Hughton says Glenn Murray's shoulder injury is not as serious as first feared, but concedes the club's top-scorer is a doubt for Saturday's match at Burnley.

Murray scored his eighth goal of the season from the penalty spot in Brighton's 3-1 win against Crystal Palace on Tuesday.

The 35-year-old was substituted in the first half after falling on his shoulder, but Hughton confirmed it was not dislocated.

"We'll assess Glenn in the morning [on Friday] - today it wasn't as bad as we thought - we'll give him every opportunity to be fit," Hughton said.

"He went over on his shoulder but it's not dislocated. It's a bit sore but better than what it could have been."
