Jurgen Locadia set for Brighton debut in FA Cup

Brighton will give a debut to record signing Jurgen Locadia in Saturday’s FA
Cup fifth-round clash with Coventry.

The Dutch forward, who was an unused substitute at Stoke last weekend, has
overcome a hamstring problem and manager Chris Hughton has confirmed he will start against the League Two Sky Blues.

Midfielders Jiri Skalak and Steve Sidwell (both ankle) remain Albion’s only two
absentees.

Coventry loanee Jordan Maguire-Drew is unable to face his parent club.

The winger has been borrowed from Brighton and though he has already played for the Sky Blues in this competition, the terms of his deal will rule him out against the Seagulls.

Boss Mark Robins is short of wide options as Kyel Reid is cup-tied having already featured for Colchester in the FA Cup.

Michael Doyle (knee) and Jack Grimmer (hamstring) are highly unlikely to feature.
