Brighton & Hove Albion striker Leonardo Ulloa itching to return

Brighton & Hove Albion's top scorer Leonardo Ulloa has said that he is eager to return to action after serving a three-match ban.

Ulloa, who has missed the last three fixtures because of a straight red card in last month's draw at Reading, should return to Oscar Garcia's starting lineup for tonight's visit of struggling Sheffield Wednesday.

"I want to come back, I want to play. These three games I've had out felt like quite a long time and we didn't have a good result in the last of those matches at Ipswich," he told the club's official website. "It was two weeks, three games and as I'm used to playing and being with the team, it felt strange. I hope this doesn't happen to me again but I'm happy the three games have gone and that I am available again."

Saturday's defeat at Portman Road left Brighton in 12th place in the Championship.
