Leandro Trossard could give Albion fans more to enjoy – as they relish their Euro 2020 hat-trick.
The Seagulls have three players still with their national squads at the tournament going into the quarter-finals.
Some supporters have been highlighting the fact their club have more players left at the Euros than, among others, Real Madrid.
Now Seagulls ace Trossard could benefit from an injury affecting one of the two Madrid survivors, Eden Hazard.
Belgium face Italy in Munich tomorrow (8pm) but look set to be without Hazard and Kevin De Bruyne.
Trossard, who started at wing-back against Finland in the final group game, is a contender to feature in a more familiar role close to striker Romelu Lukaku.
BRIGHTON'S ROBERT 'PANTERA' SANCHEZ IMPRESSES WHILE TRAINING WITH SPAIN
Yannick Carrasco and Dries Mertens are considered favourites to step in but common consent is neither have sparkled at the tournament so far.
That could open the door for the exciting but inconsistent Albion frontrunner, at least for minutes off the bench.
Neither Hazard nor De Bruyne were with the Belgium squad at training yesterday.
Albion duo Ben White and Robert Sanchez are still hoping for their first minutes but they are unlikely to come in the last eight.
White has headed to Rome, where England face Ukraine on Saturday night.
Sanchez has been training with Spain in St Petersburg, where they face Switzerland tomorrow (5pm).
