Elliott Bennett's replacement at Norwich today has been urged to seize the chance to shine for Albion.

On-loan Bennett is ineligible for the clash against his parent club.

Joao Teixeira or Adrian Colunga are the favourites to replace the right-winger, who was influential on his return to the Seagulls in a win and draw at home to Wigan and Blackburn before the international break.

Manager Sami Hyypia said of Bennett: “He’s a good player, he has done well for us. We knew already we need to play this game without him. That’s how it is.

“Another player needs to step up and be on top of their game and play well for us.

“It’s a chance to nail a place in the team.”

Bennett’s initial month at the Amex expires with the visit of Fulham next Saturday.
