The club’s record signing from last season had an indifferent start to life in the Premier League last season.
He has not featured in either game this season, not even making the match-day squad. But the club’s manager said he still has a part to play.
Speaking about the winger, Potter said to reporters: “Yeah, I do. He’s a bit unfortunate not to be in the 18,” Potter said.
“He’s a player that can be close to the 11 but out of the 18, if that makes sense, because I think he can play in any one of those front positions but also as a wing-back, on the right side, he’s been working with that as well.
“But how he’s worked every day has been perfect. He does his best and is ready to help the team,” the Brighton coach added.
