But with Sol Campbell impressed at Eastlands and in the Carling Cup win over Chelsea, ChrisHughton admits he faces a difficult decision ahead of Saturday’s home game with Wigan.
ChrisHughton: “Fabricio will be back in contention for Wigan providing there are no further problems.
“That is a big positive for us.
“But there is a decision for me to make there. Sol came in and did well and Mike (Williamson) has been excellent too.
“Sol is just a good player, so it doesn’t surprise me he’s come in and looked good.
"Part of the reason why we brought him in was because of that quality and experience that he showed last weekend.”
