Stefanos Tzimas could be back in Albion first-team training next week
The 20-year-old Greek forward has been out for ten months with a knee injury and is training with the under-21s.
Stefanos Tzimas is close to rejoining Brighton & Hove Albion’s first-team squad in training. Head coach Fabian Hurzeler hopes the forward can train fully next week, after ten months out with a knee injury.
Tzimas, 20, is from Greece. He was starting to establish himself in the first-team squad when he was injured against Aston Villa in December.
“At the moment, he trains with the under-21s, so we have to be really patient,” Hurzeler said. “We are going step-by-step and hopefully next week he will be in our training squad.”
He has not travelled with the squad, which has been based in Manchester since Tuesday for back-to-back games against City. “He needs training time, which is why he’s not with us right now,” Hurzeler said.
The second of those games is at the Etihad Stadium today at 3pm. Albion then go to Getafe in Spain for the Conference League on Thursday, the last of five away games in a row.
The next match at the Amex is Albion v Brentford on Sunday 8 November at 2pm.
