Femi Azeez Approaches Debut for Brighton Amid Recovery
Femi Azeez, a winger for Brighton & Hove Albion, is progressing towards full fitness as he recovers from a hamstring injury sustained during Millwall's opening Championship game of the season. Head coach Fabian Hurzeler confirmed that Azeez, who signed a four-year contract with Brighton on September 2, has not yet made a competitive appearance for the club.
Azeez previously scored 15 goals and provided 13 assists in 77 appearances for Millwall. He did not travel with the squad to Spain for their UEFA Conference League match against Getafe due to his injury, along with teammates Ferdi Kadioglu and Pascal Struijk.
Hurzeler clarified that these players were not rested but were unavailable due to injury. While he noted that Azeez is getting closer to returning, he did not specify a date for the winger's debut.
Brighton is set to host Brentford in the Premier League on Sunday.
