Leroy Lita is poised for a low key finale to his loan spell with Albion.

The much-travelled striker is unlikely to be in the matchday squad again for the Boxing Day trip to one of his former clubs Charlton.

The form of Ashley Barnes during the absence through injury of Leo Ulloa restricted Lita to a handful of substitute appearances since signing on loan from Swansea in October.

Ulloa's return to the bench for the last two matches after recovering from a foot fracture had prompted Lita's exclusion from the squad.

Lita, 29, this Saturday, has not featured since the home defeat by Barnsley on December 3.

His loan stint with the Seagulls is scheduled to end with Bournemouth's visit on New Year's Day.

Lita scored three goals in eight games on loan to Charlton from Reading in 2008.
