Beram Kayal has targeted a big Premier League role after returning from injury.

The Albion midfielder started last night’s 2-0 defeat at Tottenham after fighting back from a broken leg sustained in their final friendly of pre-season.

He got his chance with Chris Hughton moving to a 4-5-1 in the quest for some reward at Wembley.

Kayal said: “It has been a long time and a tough time to be out.

“Everyone knows about my injury.

“It’s not easy when you do pre-season, work hard and try to start the season like everyone else.

“It was a special moment for this club to be in the Premier League and a few days before everything started I broke my leg.

“But that is history now and I’m happy to be back in the team and try to help my mates.”

Kayal returned to the matchday squad for the defeat at Old Trafford.

But he has seen chances to play limited by the form of the men ahead of him.

He said: “I’m delighted for the team. They have started very well.

“I’m happy for myself now to be back and try to help them as well.

“I am disappointed with the result because we conceded two soft goals.

“Tottenham, Wembley was all nice but the main thing was to get back in the team and get myself back and play football.

“I tried to prove myself and show my manager I’m ready to get the chance.”
