Our speedy winger has just been spotted by the lovely Mrs Oscar on the 5 bus heading into town with a bandaged right knee.

Got off at The Steine and headed up St James's Street. I'll leave the speculation as to why he's using public transport and what he's doing in camp Kemptown to you lot.

The big question is, is this FLAIR or what?

I guess that his sore leg stopped him driving. Pretty sure he has a motor*.

*although it could be a pure coincidence that a flash white BMW, in the players' car park on matchdays, bears the plate '** LUA'.

There is also a big family-sized Peugeot with SPANISH plates, and a souped up little boy-racer Renault with French plates. [Probably Dicker and Hawkins' respectively..]

I presume the lovely Mrs Oscar saw him in shorts but in this weather? The lad will catch his death.

No coincidence there Mr K. He nearly knocked me over in said car after the Swindon game (by Preston Park). For some reason, he decided a Zebra Crossing didn't mean a mere pedestrian had right-of-way: & promptly stuck his foot down. I did gesticulate rudely at him as he went off towards town, but I don't think he noticed - funnily enough.

At least we'll all be safer now he's injured. :wink:

Do we know this? Has there been an update on his injury?

Team News: Oldham Athletic v Albion
Posted on: Thu 18 Mar 2010

By Tim Dudding

Chris Holroyd has a fighting chance of being fit for Saturday's trip to Oldham Athletic (3pm).

The Seagulls striker limped out of Tuesday night's victory against Brentford with a slight hamstring problem, but will spend today and tomorrow with the club's medical staff in a bid to be involved this weekend.

However Kazenga LuaLua, who was forced off during the Brentford win also with hamstring trouble, has suffered a more severe strain and faces the next few weeks in the treatment room.

Albion assistant manager Mauricio Taricco said, "LuaLua will be out for the next couple of weeks at least. For Chris it's a different story and we need to assess his situation.

"He had a little problem, which is why he came off, but he is with the medical staff and we will see how he is tomorrow before we make a final decision whether to include him in the squad. We think he has a chance."

With LuaLua ruled out, Dean Cox, Nicky Forster and Seb Carole will all be hoping for a recall after being involved in the reserve team's 6-0 win against Eastbourne United last night.

Meanwhile Diego Arismendi is due to resume training with the squad this morning after shaking off the thigh problem that has hindered the start of his loan spell from Stoke, and is hoping to be in contention this weekend.

Michel Kuipers (broken finger) and Colin Hawkins (Achilles) are Albion's long-term casualties.
