00:01Jorginho Ruta is preparing for an emotional return to Ellen Road as Brighton and Hove Albion
00:06face Leeds United in a Premier League clash.
00:11The attacking midfielder, once a fan favourite at Leeds, left the club in a Ā£40m move and
00:18now returns for the first time since his departure.
00:21However, Ruta's time at Brighton has become increasingly frustrating for the player with
00:27limited opportunities under manager Fabian Herzler.
00:30The 24-year-old player has struggled for regular starts, especially so in recent months and
00:36has mainly been used as a substitute from the bench.
00:40Despite his reduced role, Herzler praised Ruta's attitude and commitment to the team, insisting
00:46the Frenchman continues to put the club ahead of his personal disappointment.
00:51The Brighton boss admitted that the midfielder is naturally unhappy with his lack of game
00:56time, but stressed that his professionalism remains important within the squad.
01:02Jorginho Ruta has scored three league goals this season, including strikes against Leeds' relegation
01:09rivals West Ham United.
01:11Leeds obviously safe now though.
01:13Ruta also scored against Burnley and Tottenham Hotspur as well, all three of the clubs in
01:18a relegation scrap.
01:19Sunday's clash could also see experienced midfielder James Milner featured Ellen Road as well.
01:26So that sometimes ended in handcuffing even above.
01:26But if the ninja level did occur in anger or her 140-iling assistant it was an African-American
