Albion have a clean bill of health for Saturday's top-of-the-table tussle with Hull at the Amex.
Gordon Greer, Beram Kayal, Tomer Hemed, Jake Forster-Caskey, Solly March and Niki Maenpaa have all reported back fit from international duty.
Boss Chris Hughton said today: "We've had six internationals away and some were involved more than others.
"But they've all come back fine. At the moment there are no injuries, which is a very good position to be in.
"We are looking forward to two games coming up on Saturday and Tuesday (home to Rotherham)."
Hughton has hinted that most recent signing Elvis Manu is unlikely to start against Hull as the versatile 22-year-old attacker from Feyenoord settles into his new surroundings.
"His fitness levels are fine," Hughton told The Argus. "He is a young player coming from a different league that is adjusting.
"He speaks perfect English so that's a big help for him settling in.
"It gives us an opportunity to work with him, really tie down if the strengths are exactly what we have seen in our recruitment processes, but at the moment he is coming into a fully fit and motivated squad.
"In this initial period we are finding out a lot of things about each other."
