Lewis Dunk could be handed another England chance - after being hailed as super human.
A Three Lions recall is believed to be likely for the Albion skipper.
He could even make his competitive international debut to add to one cap won in a friendly versus the USA in 2018.
Gareth Southgate will rest Manchester City pair John Stones and Kyle Walker for next month’s European Championship qualifiers against Malta and Macedonia.
TalkSPORT went as far as to suggest Dunk is “expected” to be named in the squad coming towards the end of his outstanding season with the high-flying Seagulls.
Speaking on Saturday, Albion boss Roberto De Zerbi told The Argus: “Dunk can’t rest. Why? Dunk is from Brighton, he is a top player.
“I think he is a top player not only for us but the level of Dunk is higher than his career.
“He has to play 90 minutes every game for me.
“Dunk is not human!”
