Adam Chicksen plays at left-back for Albion in tonight’s Championship clash away to Huddersfield Town.
The inclusion of Chicksen in place of Joe Bennett means the Seagulls are without both first choice full-backs with Bruno still sidelined by a groin problem.
It is Chicksen’s first league start since the 2-0 win at Leeds on August 19.
Manager Sami Hyypia has made one other change from the team that lost 2-1 at home to Middlesbrough on Saturday, stretching their run of games to eight without a win in the Championship.
Chris O’Grady starts up front in place of Joao Teixeira who was forced off after 30 minutes on Saturday feeling groggy after an aerial collision.
Nzuzi Toko and Kemy Agustien return on the substitutes’ bench with Casper Ankergren included as back-up goalkeeper rather than Christian Walton.
Huddersfield’s team line-up is as expected, with former Albion defender Joel Lynch at centre-back.
Albion: Stockdale; Calderon, Greer, Dunk, Chicksen; Holla, Gardner, Forster-Caskey; Baldock, O’Grady, LuaLua. Subs: Hughes, Ince, Toko, Agustien, McCourt, Colunga, Ankergren.
Huddersfield: Smithies; Smith, Hudson, Lynch, Robinson; Hogg, Coady; Scannell, Butterfield, Bunn; Holt. Subs: Ward, Wallace, Dixon, Wells, Paterson, Peltier, Murphy.
