“We all know he's a key player and can be a match-winner for us, but we already proved this season that we are also a great team without him and we are able to beat big teams without him,” said Hurzeler. Hurzeler provided a detailed Brighton injury update (Image: AFP or licensors) “So now it's about him getting back to his best shape.

It's about him fighting for his position. I think we have now several options for this position.

We played there with Maxim De Cuyper, so now Kaoru is back and that's what we wanted to have, competition for every position.” Along with Mitoma, Milner’s return from injury will be a welcome boost heading into the busy December fixtures. The Seagulls head coach also revealed Stefanos Tzimas, the only other absentee for Saturday’s game, will not return this season following the ACL injury he suffered in last week’s defeat to Aston Villa.
