ADAM Lallana and Bartosz Bialkowski play their first games since mid-November tonight when Saints host Brighton's reserves at Staplewood.

A hugely-reduced reserve programme for Stewart Henderson's second string this season and bad weather have kept the pair kicking their heels for over two months.

The last time they played a match was for the reserves in a 2-1 win at Aldershot.

Winger Nathan Dyer could also play if the 19-year-old came through yesterday's first training session since an ankle ligament injury against Leicester almost a month ago.

Henderson confirmed: "There are some lads who really need a game.

"Bartosz, Adam, Martin Cranie, David Prutton - I'm thinking of those.

"Hopefully Nathan will be able to play and apart from that it's a chance for some of the older youth team players".

Henderson has not got many options for the Pontins Holiday Combination game (7pm kick off).
