Leeds United’s attacker has been out of action since the end of August. He has been sidelined with a hamstring injury but has been making good progress.Rutter clocked up his sixth game for Brighton and his fourth start for The Seagulls since Fabian Hurtzeler’s side splashed a club-record £40m fee to land Rutter from Leeds in the summer, a £5m profit for Leeds.

It comes after the former Rennes and Hoffenheim star sparkled for Leeds last season. He played 51 times for Leeds, having a hand in 24 goals as Leeds came within an inch of promotion to the Premier League.

But defeat to Southampton in the play-off final saw Rutter opt to go when Brighton came calling. Off he popped to the south coast and against Chelsea last week, Rutter scored his first goal with a brave header.

On Sunday, it didn’t look to be going that well. Tottenham were leading at half-time 2-0, thanks to goals from Brennan Johnson and James Maddison, but Brighton came back to win 3-2 largely thanks to Rutter.
