Ansu Fati’s Albion return remains on hold.

The on-loan Barcelona star is back in training but will not be risked in the FA Cup fourth-round tie at Sheffield United.

But Igor Julio is on course to return to action at Bramall Lane.

Head coach Roberto De Zerbi made it clear what he will expect from Ansu when he returns to action.

De Zerbi said: “I expect from him more energy, the right attitude to finish the season in the best way he can.

“I think he has the right motivation.

“He feels the responsibility to play in Brighton, to show his qualities.

“My confidence is the same in Ansu but when he is ready to play, he has to feel the responsibility to show, to play, to score, to be important for us.”
