Brighton manager Potter finds Izquierdo positive in Sheffield Utd defeat

Brighton manager Graham Potter was happy to see Jose Izquierdo's return to the pitch.

The Colombian winger came on as a substitute in the loss to Sheffield United on Saturday.

It was Izquierdo's first appearance since April 2019, having been sidelined with a knee injury.

Speaking after the game, Potter said: "I just thought to have Jose on out wide to use his quality.

"Obviously, he has had a terrible time with injuries so it was nice for him to be back out on the pitch."
