IRELAND INTERNATIONAL AARON Connolly is back available for Brighton, having missed the opening Premier League weekend for personal reasons.
The Seagulls earned a 2-1 win over Burnley on Saturday, with Shane Duffy putting in a man-of-the-match performance on his first league start for the club in over a year.
21-year-old Galway native Connolly was not in the matchday squad, but manager Graham Potter has revealed that he will return to the fold for this Saturday’s meeting with newly-promoted Watford as his personal issue has been “resolved”.
Brighton are missing the injured Dan Burn, Tariq Lamptey and Danny Welbeck as well as Joel Veltman (close contact to a Covid-19 case), however.
Connolly will be hoping to kick on this season after scoring two goals and providing one assist in 17 appearances last term.

This is turning into a bit of a farce now. I don’t think it is a good use of cabinet meeting time.
Rename the stadium Supervalu Pair UiCaoimh, problem solved. Now where is my minsterial pension.
@Joe O’Regan: mehole will sort ya
@Joe O’Regan: Well said. The Sportsground in Galway is also to be renamed Dexcom Park. There’s not a word about that and rightly so.
@Richard Ford: other than the article 3 below this one Rich is it?!
@Joe Kennedy: Through the chair a point of clarification Joe. There’s no controversy about the renaming of the Sportsground.
@Richard Ford: haha…..not yet anyway! Completely different situation in fairness though, given that the Sportsground isn’t currently named after any important historical rugby figure.
Supervalu Pairc UiCaoimh even.
