Lingard failed to play against Leicester having just returned to training following his World Cup exploits.
Lukaku on the other hand only came on as a second-half substitute.
Mourinho told the club’s official website: “I think we will have the same players [as against Leicester]. I think the injured players aren’t going to be back for Brighton.
“What we have is Paul [Pogba] with nine days’ training, [Marcus] Rashford with 11 days’ training, [Marouane] Fellaini with nine days’ training and, of course, they will be in a better condition.
“Normally, these boys that [against Leicester] were in a difficult situation will be ready to give a bit more [against Brighton] – more Lukaku, more Rashford, probably Lingard coming back, more Fellaini. I think normally we’re going to have more.”
This implies that the likes of Antonio Valencia, Marcus Rojo, Nemanja Matic and Ander Herrera could fail to feature against Brighton.
