IRELAND INTERNATIONAL AARON Connolly is back available for Brighton, having missed the opening Premier League weekend for personal reasons.
The Seagulls earned a 2-1 win over Burnley on Saturday, with Shane Duffy putting in a man-of-the-match performance on his first league start for the club in over a year.
21-year-old Galway native Connolly was not in the matchday squad, but manager Graham Potter has revealed that he will return to the fold for this Saturday’s meeting with newly-promoted Watford as his personal issue has been “resolved”.
Brighton are missing the injured Dan Burn, Tariq Lamptey and Danny Welbeck as well as Joel Veltman (close contact to a Covid-19 case), however.
Connolly will be hoping to kick on this season after scoring two goals and providing one assist in 17 appearances last term.
