The full-back made 23 appearances for the Seagulls last season, after joining from Sporting Lisbon in the summer of 2017.

He has not featured this season and has now returned to Chievo, who he played for on loan from Inter Milan in the 2014/15 season.

Brighton manager Chris Hughton said: Ezequiel has found opportunities limited so far this season, but he’s continued to train well every day.

“We have strong competition in the full-back areas and this move gives him the chance to play regularly in Italy’s top division, which is a league he knows well.

“We wish him all the very best for the remainder of this campaign.”
