James Milner
40-Year-Old
Brighton & Hove Albion
Premier
Back on bench
Milner (undisclosed) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Wolves.
ANALYSIS
Milner returned to contention after missing four consecutive fixtures without any clarity on the nature of the issue, with coach Fabian Hurzeler confirming his availability ahead of the weekend fixture. The midfielder's presence gives the coach more options in the middle of the park, with Yasin Ayari expected to retain his starting role after covering during Milner's absence. His return to the starting lineup is expected to follow in the coming fixtures as Brighton push through the final stretch of the season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could extend Brighton tenure
Milner could sign a new contract with Brighton in the summer, according to The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Brighton are in talks with the 39-year-old veteran English midfielder over a new deal with the club. Even though Milner is way past his prime years, Brighton rate him highly due to his positional versatility but also due to what he brings off the pitch. It wouldn't be surprising if Milner returns to Brighton for one more year before calling it a career.
