Quick Summary

Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler has provided an update on the injury status of Jack Hinshelwood, who missed Thursday's 4-0 win over Tromso due to a minor issue that may keep him out for more than just the weekend. There is a possibility that either Hinshelwood or Georginio Rutter could be involved in the squad this weekend, with Hurzeler stating he will have to "be patient" when it comes to Hinshelwood's return. The German manager downplayed the severity of Hinshelwood's problem but acknowledged the timing may prevent him from playing this weekend.

Story summary

Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler has provided an update on the status of midfielder Jack Hinshelwood, who missed the team's 4-0 win over Tromso in the Conference League. Hinshelwood had been reported to be out for up to six weeks with a minor injury, but Hurzeler says there is a chance he could return sooner. However, Hurzeler also downplayed the possibility of Hinshelwood playing this weekend, citing the timing of his injury as a concern. The manager will assess both Hinshelwood and injured teammate Georginio Rutter on a day-to-day basis, rather than setting a specific return date. Hurzeler expressed optimism that Rutter might be able to play this weekend, but acknowledged it would be a "massive loss" if either player is unable to participate.
