Fixed for you.

Were we? He was injured in the Crawley game, but I don't remember anyone saying he would definitely play today.

This is getting reminiscent of Ulloa not playing before he was transferred.
I will be astounded and very very happy if Stephens is still an Albion player at the start of the season, even if he is suspended for the first game.

If you say so.
It's going to be two separate teams today so that everyone gets equal amounts of playing time

Ulloa came back from the pre-season trip to Spain after a couple of days to sign for Leicester. He'd actually played in Albion's last game before the trip v Lewes.

He isn't in either squad.

Then I don't know why but 2 days ago there was nothing to suggest he was going anywhere but a lot could have changed in the last 2 days
Stephens, target of interest from Burnley, missed the outing at Aldershot due to a kick on the knee.
He will return on Saturday when Albion send sides to both Luton and Stevenage.
Hughton said: “Dale took a whack at Crawley.
“It was probably a challenge he didn’t have to make but he is a tough individual.
“It is nothing serious and we decided he would benefit from resting (last night).”

this is what Hughton said on Tuesday after the Fulham match.
"“He took a whack at Crawley, its only a whack , a whack on his knee, nothing serious. We decided he’d benefit from resting for a couple of days as opposed to playing tonight and making it worse. He’ll be available for Saturday”

The most plausible explanation would be he's not recovered as quickly as they'd hoped.
But i'm sure some other explanations will be proffered...

If the swelling hasn't gone down, then he won't be risked. We haven't accepted any bids, and even if there were further bids, it doesn't mean he's going to be sold.

Well, just at the time of kick off for the first game, he was at Hassocks Sainsburys.........
