and live on Freeview channel 276
Albion head coach Roberto De Zerbi has received a huge boost as Jakub Moder is nearing a return after more than a year out.
The athletic 6ft 2in Poland international was just starting to show his best form for club and country when he sustained a serious ACL knee injury on April 2, 2022 during a 0-0 home draw against Norwich. He missed the rest of the campaign, the 2022 World Cup and then the entire 2022-23 season.

Hide AdModer joined Brighton in 2020 from Lech Poznań for around £7m. He had an encouraging start to his Premier League career and was a regular in the Albion midfield under then manager Graham Potter.
The 24-year-old is yet to play for current boss Roberto De Zerbi but is now in full training and reportedly played behind closed door friendlies.
This Thursday's Europa League clash against Ajax at the Amex is expected to arrive too soon for Moder. Elsewhere, Solly March (knee), Danny Welbeck (muscular), Pervis Estupinan (muscular) Tariq Lamptey (muscular) and Julio Enciso (knee) are all out for tomorrow’s crunch Group B match-up with Ajax.
