Solly March should make his first appearance of the season for Brighton & Hove Albion in the Capital One Cup tie against Cheltenham Town, Sami Hyypia confirms.

Brighton & Hove Albion manager Sami Hyypia has revealed that Solly March could return to the side in tomorrow night's Capital One Cup tie against Cheltenham Town.

March is expected to have a breakout year for the Seagulls, but was unable to feature in Saturday's Championship season opener against Sheffield Wednesday.

Hyypia is confident that the 20-year-old will feature on Tuesday, but admitted that Dale Stephens won't be joining him in making his first appearance of the season.

"Solly should train today and hopefully he will able to play a part in the game tomorrow. Dale Stephens is still not available but it's good that we don't have any injuries from Saturday," Hyypia told the club website.

Life in the Championship didn't begin well for Hyypia as his side were defeated 1-0 by Wednesday at home.
