The defender's return is timely for Chris Hughton, who has been forced to play right-back Danny Simpson at centre-half in the last two games, with Coloccini and Steven Taylor out injured.
Reports say that Diego Maradona has had a chat with Coloccini and 'Spiderman', now that Argentina have shocked the majority of reporters who had them written off for a World Cup place.
Apparently the 'Hand Of God - Belly Full Of Drugs' Maradona wants them both to be playing in the Premiership after January so they are at the top of their game heading up to South Africa in the summer.
On Saturday he comes up against ex-United reserve strikers Lewis Guy and James Coppinger - no disrespect - but NOT the sort of players he will be playing against in the World Cup.
