Brighton midfielder Adam Lallana admits Danny Welbeck's return from injury has lifted the entire squad.

His return from a three-month injury-enforced absence has been hailed as “massive" by team-mate Adam Lallana, who captained the side to a 2-0 Boxing Day win over Brentford.

Lallana said: “Having Welbz back on the training pitch the last three weeks, I can't explain to you how refreshing that is.

“He will bring out the best out of anyone. (He's a) world class footballer.

“If we can keep him fit from now to the end of the season he will have big success.

“He is a different level of player for Brighton, it's as simple as that.

“When you see him day in and day out at training, Neal (Maupay) can learn from him, I can still learn from him, we can all learn from him.

“He just gives everyone that bit of belief."
