Sam Baldock is available for Brighton's EFL Cup tie against Reading on Tuesday.
The 27-year-old, who was suspended for their defeat by Brentford and then sat out last week's win over leaders Huddersfield with a minor calf problem, was also left out of Saturday's squad at Burton due to 'tactical reasons'.
But boss Chris Hughton confirmed he would feature against the Royals.
Team news
Long-term absentees Connor Goldson, Uwe Huenemeier and Solly March are all in contention to return for the clash.
Reading will be without top goalscorer Garath McCleary. The winger was sent off in their 2-1 Championship win at Barnsley on Saturday after scoring their first goal of the game.
The Royals manager Jaap Stam has no fresh injury concerns for the game. Yakou Meite and Deniss Rakels (both ankle) remain unavailable.
Opta stats
Brighton and Reading played against each other four times in Round one of the 1974 League Cup. Reading eventually won 3-2 in the third replay.
Brighton have scored four goals in both of their League Cup matches so far this season.
Brighton and Reading have one win apiece in their last six meetings in all competitions; the other four matches have ended in draws.
Reading have lost their last two League Cup matches against opponents in the same division.
Brighton reached Round four of the League Cup in 2014-15, losing out to Spurs. Prior to that, they hadn't reached the fourth round since 1979-80.
Charlie predicts
I'm not sure about Reading. They've come up with some strange results under Stam but head into the game on the same points as their hosts, having drawn 2-2 at the Madejski Stadium.
Brighton are a better team and got a nice late winner at the weekend thanks to a Tomer Hemed penalty, so I fancy them to prevail here.
Charlie predicts: Brighton 3-1 Reading, Anthony Knockaert to score first (50/1 with Sky Bet)
