The midfielder has been on duty with the Republic of Ireland for the past 10 days and was on the subs bench for the Euro 2008 qualifiers against Germany and Cyprus.

Douglas returned to Thorp Arch yesterday and will go straight back into the side at Brighton in place of injured skipper Alan Thompson.

Dennis Wise said: "Jonathon is back with no problems, which I am pleased about. He is my vice captain and he is an important part of the team. He has done well for us this season and I am really pleased with him. We missed him last weekend."
