Both sides do not have a lot of injury concerns to worry about ahead of their upcoming encounter. Nonetheless, they are expected to make some changes to the lineup to keep the players fresh for their respective league campaigns. Brighton are most likely set to rest a lot of their senior players and give opportunities to their fringe players and promising academy players.
Levi Colwill and Pervis Estupinan could be in line for a start on Wednesday. They, however, will miss the services of Jakub Moder, who has been out injured for a long time. On the other hand, Forest Green Rovers might not make too many changes to their first team, considering the level of opponent awaiting them. Hence, they could name a side similar to the one that started at the weekend for them.
