Albion were still waiting for clearance last night to use new loan striker Leroy Lita at Yeovil.
The Football Association have contacted FIFA to approve the loan.
But the Seagulls are guarded about the prospects of all the necessary paperwork being completed in time for Lita to be available for tomorrow's trip to Somerset.
Lita's temporary move from Welsh Premier League club Swansea is regarded as a 'foreign' transfer and therefore falls under Zurich-based FIFA's jurisdiction.
Albion have experienced delays in securing international clearance in similar situations before, when Ryan Harley and Kemy Agustien signed from Swansea.
The red tape issues have to be sorted out by 4pm today British time for Lita to be eligible for the match at Huish Park.
Lita has not played since May and is likely to be among the substitutes if clearance is secured.
