Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler has now confirmed that Pedro will be back in training on Friday, but insisted he is unwilling to take any risks with the 22-year-old’s fitness ahead of the clash with a Forest side still on a high from their shock victory over Liverpool at Anfield last weekend.

Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler will not take any risks with the fitness of “key player” Joao Pedro and is confident other members of his squad will chip in with goals. Seagulls forward Pedro missed last weekend’s 0-0 draw at home to newly-promoted Ipswich and will be assessed ahead of Sunday’s visit of Nottingham Forest.

Hurzeler on his side's goalscoring problem: "My solution is that we need to create some chances, attack the box with more players and change our attitude. We missed a step in not creating more chances against Ipswich and we're trying to work on that."

“We have to see if he is fully fit and we don't want to take risk,” said Albion boss Fabian Hurzeler ahead of the clash against Gary O’Neil’s Wolves. “Let's see the training and see if he can play or not.”

Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler says teenager Evan Ferguson has nothing to prove in Wednesday night's home Carabao Cup tie against Wolves.

Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler has hinted striker Joao Pedro will be fit enough to feature in Saturday’s Premier League game against Ipswich.
