Leo Ulloa could return to the Albion squad at Middlesbrough on Saturday.

The Seagulls' star striker has been sidelined since fracturing a foot bone in the home game against Sheffield Wednesday on October 1.

Ulloa took part in a practice game at the end of training at Withdean yesterday, along with Will Buckley (ankle).

Assistant head coach Nathan Jones told The Argus: "We'll see, we'll gauge it, and we'll speak to Leo as well. He had a good moan in training, which shows he's back and doing okay. He's looking better and the competition we have now bodes well.

"We won't push him. Realistically last week we could have risked him (against Leicester) but we didn't. He's had an extra week, so we'll see."
