Brighton head coach Fabian Hurzeler has given media updates ahead of Sunday's Premier League clash with Coventry City, according to the BBC.
Wait — Coventry aren't in the Premier League, but per the BBC report, Hurzeler addressed several fitness and squad concerns before the fixture at the Coventry Building Society Arena (14:00 BST).
The Brighton boss touched on the availability of Rutter and Azeez, though specifics on their conditions weren't detailed in the report. He also commented on Ayari's recent form heading into the match.
Perhaps most notably, Hurzeler gave an encouraging update on Kaoru Mitoma, who has been out with a long-term injury. The manager said he expects the Japanese international to return "more" — suggesting a timeline is edging closer, though no firm date was confirmed.
As it stands, Brighton fans will be hoping for clarity on team selection as the club looks to manage returning players carefully while assessing which squad members are fit to feature this weekend.
