Brighton manager Potter confirms Trossard return; Connolly still out

Brighton winger Leandro Trossard will return for Saturday's clash with Leicester City.

Trossard sat out of Belgium's qualifiers with Russia and Cyprus this past week.

"Leandro Trossard rolled his ankle while he was away - it was more precautionary that he was left out," manage Graham Potter said.

"He's trained with us and he's fine for the weekend."

Potter added that he was hopeful Aaron Connolly would return from a groin injury sooner rather than later.

"Aaron Connolly will miss the game this weekend with the same groin problem from the Manchester United game," he added.

"Hopefully he will be back for next weekend."
