Triple boost for Seagulls

08 April 2011 11:00
Adam El-Abd, Ashley Barnes and Jamie Smith are all available for Brighton's clash with Sheffield Wednesday. Defender El-Abd (hamstring) and striker Barnes (ankle) have missed the last three weeks through injury but are ready to return to the squad. Midfielder Smith is also back in full training after 11 weeks on the sidelines with a metatarsal problem, although boss Gus Poyet is unlikely to rush him back at the weekend. Therefore, full-back Jim McNulty (ankle) is the only injury absentee as the leaders head into the final stages of the season. Six points from the home games against the Owls and Dagenham next Tuesday night could be enough to clinch promotion if results elsewhere go the Seagulls' way.
