Pascal Groß is back on the field for Brighton immediately upon his return. The German is warmly received by the fans.
Just one day after his return to Brighton & Hove Albion, Pascal Groß was able to breathe familiar Premier League air again.
The 34-year-old, who returned to the island from Borussia Dortmund, played for about 20 minutes in the 2-0 victory against Burnley. Coach Fabian Hürzeler brought him into the game in the final phase for Charalampos Kostoulas.

The ‘Seagulls’ fans celebrated Groß’s return frenetically and gave him a standing ovation. ‘The fans are cheering louder than ever this afternoon,’ the Telegraph described the scenes around the 70th minute: ‘The fans’ darling is back where he belongs.’ The Sun also wrote: ‘The volume at the Amex (Brighton’s stadium, ed.) increased.’
Premier League: Big returns to his old stomping ground
Great played for Brighton even before his move to BVB in summer 2024. In seven years, he recorded a total of 85 goal contributions in 261 games.
From his return, he primarily expects more playing time again, also with a view to a possible participation in the upcoming World Cup with the DFB team.
“He approached us with the desire for a change, through which he hopes for more playing time than he has had this season. We have complied with this,” BVB sporting director Sebastian Kehl had explained.
