Brighton boss Graham Potter admits he could recall Glenn Murray from Watford.
Murray, 37, has been left on the bench at Vicarage Road since signing a one-year loan deal with the Championship club, starting only one league game so far.
Potter said: "My respect for Glenn is huge, he's a top guy and a fantastic servant for this club. It goes without saying that he's always welcome here, especially while I'm here because he was good to me and supported what we did.
"I can imagine he is frustrated. It's part of the challenge of going out on loan. But all I know is that Glenn is a top guy, and he's been fantastic for this club and great for me."
Without Murray, Brighton have managed to score only 15 times in the Premier League this campaign, with Neal Maupay currently their top scorer on four.
