Apologies if i've missed an earlier post but was there any reason Connolly was missing at the weekend?

Wilder had hinted that he would be involved beforehand although did suggest that they had to be careful with him due to a lack of recent game time.
 
Such a baffling decision from Brighton, unless they were planning on recalling him in the next 21 days, the next cup match isn't until after the window shuts.
 
Really odd 'clause' these days. You don't see clubs bothered about a player being cup tied.

I guess if they get knocked out it will change (almost certainly will).

Just seems strange. Especially as both Connelly and Wilder were saying the day before that he'd be envolved. I guess it was a suprise to both.

So can they recall him at any time then?
Thought players could only be recalled in the January window??

They can only play for another club if they're recalled during the transfer window, so it's very strange.

I'd lean towards there just being a mix up in registering him rather than Brighton caring how about him being cup tied.
It's irrelevant to them.

It will be now given the next tie is in Feb.
 
From a Gazette article on Boyd-Munce from saturday.

And while first signing Aaron Connolly was unable to make his debut as the club didn't manage to get back his international clearance in time, Boyd-Munce did go straight into the side and made an immediate impact as the young midfielder doubled Boro's lead in a 3-2 win over Mansfield Town in the FA Cup third round.
 
We’ve only had 10 days to get international clearance for this Irish lad on loan, give them time.

Why would he need international clearance?
He was a domestic transfer who was already registered in England as he was at Brighton.

"In accordance with FIFA Regulations, international clearance is required for any player over the age of 10 who is seeking to register for a club in England and has previously been registered for a club abroad (including the other Home Associations), or who is a foreign national seeking to register for the first time in this country."
