Brighton defender Adam Webster has admitted he struggled with lockdown but says it helped him feel the fittest he has ever been.

Premier League players were forced to train at home while the country was gripped by the coronavirus pandemic, which forced a lengthy restriction on movement.

Webster found it tough to train by himself every day and is loving life back in group training as the Seagulls gear up for a June 20 restart against Arsenal.

"I'm really happy to be back in full training and seeing the rest of the lads has brought a bit of normality to our routines," he said on the club website.

"I was finding it difficult because you couldn't really see the end of it or when things were going to get back to normal.

"I was at a bit of a crossroads but I spoke to the guys at the club and they were really good.

"Then week after that we were back at the training ground in our one-hour slots using the pitches to run around – and that helped me quite a bit.

"And having got through that period I'd say I feel the fittest I've ever felt."
