Poyet boosted by fit-again trio

Brighton manager Gus Poyet feels his side will be in tip-top shape after the international break.

The Seagulls are currently flying high in fifth place in the npower Championship and hope to welcome back injured trio Andrew Crofts, Craig Mackail-Smith and Vicente against Middlesbrough next weekend.

Poyet said: "We have had a few injuries and a few players who were close to being out but in two weeks we will have everyone available which is very good for the manager.

"I am pleased with where we are, we have 18 points from 10 games and we are in a great position in the league. It's up to us now.

"The players are confident and we are doing well. We should have Crofty, Macca and Vicente ready after the international break."
