Available again after break Connolly (heel) has been training and is available for Saturday's trip to Aston Villa, according to manager Graham Potter.

Impact Even prior to getting hurt, Connolly was an unused substitute in four of the club's previous five contests.

Impact Connolly dealt with a nagging muscle injury in the early season, but now that he's healthy, he's still struggling for time even with Danny Welbeck out. At this point, he seems like the fourth or fifth forward option and unless something changes, it's hard to see him cracking the starting XI.

Hopeful for Saturday Connolly (glute) is hopeful to make the bench Saturday against Brentford, according to manager Graham Potter.
Impact Connolly didn't play in Brighton's last match and then suffered a muscle problem over the break with the national team. Even if healthy, he's a bench option behind Neal Maupay and the return of Danny Welbeck doesn't help his playing time, either.

Late scratch for opener Connolly wasn't in the squad for Saturday's opening win because of personal reasons, according to manager Graham Potter.
Impact Connolly had a chance to start Saturday's opener because of the injury to Danny Welbeck, but he ended up missing out instead. His playing time remains uncertain going into the new season since even when Welbeck is out, he doesn't have a guaranteed spot in the XI.
