Brighton striker Connolly to make end of season comeback

Brighton striker Aaron Connolly is set to be fit before the end of the season.

The Argus says the Irish striker suffered a knee injury in the build-up to the fateful home fixture against Arsenal.

That game was called off after Gunners boss Mikel Arteta tested positive for coronavirus.

Connolly had surgery and has since been recovering.

Reports vary as to when the Premier League could resume, subject to government clearance, but it will not be for at least a month.

Head coach Graham Potter said: “With Aaron, we are looking at the start of June, that's more realistic than May.

“The question then is when does the start date happen and when do we start training?"
