Joel Veltman will be fresh for Albion action at the weekend.

The defender again remained on the bench as the Netherlands won 2-1 in Poland in the UEFA Nations League last night.

Veltman faces a battle for a place at the back as the Seagulls go to Villa Park with Lewis Dunk now back from a three-match ban.

He was also an unused sub in the match against Bosnia-Herzegovina on Sunday.

Current members of the Albion first team squad have on the whole had unusually little international action over the past eight days.

On-loan Jakub Moder went on as a 71st-minute substitute for Poland in their defeat by the Dutch.

But it was not a happy experience given the Poles were 1-0 up at the time of his introduction.
