Brighton's £14million record signing Jurgen Locadia is set to make his long-awaited debut in Saturday's crunch clash at relegation rivals Stoke.
Dutch forward Locadia arrived from Eredivisie leaders PSV Eindhoven during last month's transfer window but was carrying a hamstring injury.
Albion manager Chris Hughton confirmed the 24-year-old has returned to fitness and will be included in his squad at the bet365 Stadium as the south coast club attempt to boost their Premier League survival hopes.
Hughton, whose 13th-placed team are three points ahead of 18th-placed Stoke, said: 'He obviously hasn't been involved in any games, Under-23 games or so, but he will have completed a good week and a half of training going into the game so certainly he'll be in the squad.
