ALBION could go hunting for a left-back again in January after losing Liam Rosenior until the new year.
Rosenior has been ruled out for several weeks by right knee medial ligament damage sustained in last Saturday’s home win against Birmingham.
The versatile Rosenior was moved to left-back for the last five matches to deputise for first-choice Gaetan Bong, who is also out until the new year after rupturing a thigh tendon in October.
There is no precise time frame for the comebacks of Rosenior and Bong, so Albion will monitor the situation throughout a hectic December in which Inigo Calderon will stand in for the pair, starting with Charlton’s visit tomorrow.
The Seagulls tried to sign a left-back during the loan window but nobody suitable was available.
Coach Nathan Jones told The Argus: “We will re-visit that in January. We will know far more about Liam, far more about Bong and others we have here.
“If it needs re-visiting then I’m sure we will look for options but for now we will have a list of players that we will be investigating, potentially as a loan.
“We have players on our radar anyway. We will re-visit it in January when we know what’s what.
“It’s frustrating because Land good trainer and good around the place. It’s disappointing for him but we have to move on.”
Albion have suffered a further injury setback, a minor op also stretching Kazenga LuaLua’s absence into the new year along with Rosenior, Bong and forward Sam Baldock (thigh). The left-winger has not featured since suffering groin damage in training in September.
