David Stockdale is expected to recover from a knock in time to face leaders Bournemouth at the Amex on Friday night.

The Albion goalkeeper was hurt in Monday's 1-0 defeat at Rotherham.

Manager Chris Hughton said: "Stocky took a kick on Monday but we're quite sure he will be training tomorrow and be okay."

Stockdale missed Albion's 3-2 defeat at Bournemouth earlier in the season with a broken finger.

Ali Al-Habsi replaced him, his only appearance on loan from Wigan.

Albion have no other fresh injury worries for Bournemouth's visit.
