Tommy Elphick will miss the start of Championship life at The Amex after suffering a ruptured Achilles at Notts County on Saturday.
Albion boss Gus Poyet told The Argus his big defender underwent an operation today and will not be fit for action until at least early September.
Poyet said: "It could be four, five or six months out, depending on the operation."
Elphick was stretchered off early in the second half of the Seagulls' 1-1 draw at Meadow Lane.
