ALBION have a “big decision” to make on when to bring Jose Izquierdo back to help their relegation fight.
The Colombian winger has missed the last 15 matches with a recurrence of knee trouble.
He was involved in a warm weather training break in Marbella ahead of tonight’s return to Premier League action at Leicester.
Manager Chris Hughton told The Argus: “He has been training with us now for a period of time. While we were away we played a big sided game.
“That will be a decision on how quickly to push him in, whether on the bench, to leave it to the next game. He would be probably the one where we have a big decision to make.”
Solly March has recovered from an ankle injury which forced him off in the last league game against Burnley.
Jurgen Locadia has resumed training following ankle damage sustained in the FA Cup win over Derby, as has Glenn Murray after a calf issue.
Top scorer Murray is expected to lead the line for the clash at the King Power Stadium, which signals the end of a three-match suspension for Florin Andone.
Lewis Dunk has also been recovering from a knock, while fellow central defender Leon Balogun (shoulder) is definitely still out.
The injured were left at home but Hughton hopes four days of preparation in Spain for the rest of the squad has freshened them up for the bid to move clear of relegation danger.
