Brighton's Hurzeler Says Azeez Needs More Time to Adapt
Brighton & Hove Albion head coach Fabian Hurzeler announced that Femi Azeez is not prepared to make his competitive debut for the club. Azeez, a Nigeria international, joined Brighton on transfer deadline day from Millwall.
His debut has been postponed due to an injury he suffered on the opening day of the Championship season while playing for Millwall. Although Azeez participated in a private practice match during the three-week international break, Hurzeler indicated that he is still adjusting to the physical requirements of his new environment.
Hurzeler mentioned, “He played in a friendly game and he had some minor issues this week,” emphasizing that Azeez's body needs to adapt to the intensity and demands of the Premier League. Ahead of Brighton's upcoming match against Sunderland, Hurzeler called for patience regarding Azeez's integration into the team.
